Trust me, the police don't want to be enforcing this but they're required to and feedback up the chain the nature of the "abuses" to the guidelines they encounter. At which point somebody at the home office gets to say "our officers have had to speak to more cyclists than any other identifiable group" and it snowballs from there.
As I said this morning. If cycling for recreation isn't restricted within 14 days, I'll donate £20 to the forum.
How would you police that anyway?
Folk still commuting by bike etc. Tone down the double disc Tri rig and say you were delivering vital medicines to your mother who lives 50km away and there would be little scope for objection.
