  • Do you think, me riding alone, on known routes, moderately, fully provisioned and equipped, keeping well to myself(which is SOP anyway), not stopping and then returning to an empty house that I am really going to be a factor here?

    Maybe your energies should be directed more usefully.

    All I'm saying is that if a small percentage of cyclists continue to go on rides that aren't in close proximity to their homes I believe that recreational cycling will become restricted further. The conversations about this have already begun.

    So it doesn't matter if you are a risk to anybody or anything. It's not about that. It's about the fact that a small number of people, rightly or wrongly, are creating an issue that might lead to withdrawal of a privilege.

    Sometimes the perception of a non existent problem can be just as damaging as a real problem.

    I don't think anybody going for a long bike ride is causing a problem. And you don't think that either. But it's not you or I calling the shots.

    Don't worry about my energy, it takes very few calories to post in this thread once or twice a day.

  • Guess it is only rational then to push as much against the envelope now when I have a chance as no matter what I do restrictions will increase.

    I was limiting rides to once every two days, now there seems no point.

  • Guess it is only rational then to push as much against the envelope now when I have a chance as no matter what I do restrictions will increase

    Isn't that exactly the mentality that has lead to the perception of cyclists breaking the guidelines being a problem in the first place?
