Instead of pissing and moaning, you should feel lucky you’re still allowed to go out on the bike, that bicycle shops are still allowed to keep their doors open and that your government is actually promoting the fact to go out and exercise despite some restrictions they’ve put in place.
How exactly is this supposed to work? Either the current law is what is needed, in which case anything more would be an overreach of power, or it isn't, in which case that should be adjusted based on evidence.
In any case, no, thank you, I will not 'feel lucky' that I'm still allowed to go outside at all. This is one of the more basic rights a person usually has. FUCK this narrative of us suddenly having to be grateful for the government not to take away all our rights just because.

There is no “just because” reason in this situation. The simple fact is that people are spreading a virus if you don’t put certain limitations in place for a period of time.
When I refer to “feel lucky” it’s because I’m comparing the situation in the UK with my own situation here in Italy. You’ll appreciate the fact of being able to go outside when you please (even with restrictions in place) a lot more when that possibility is taken away from you.

Now that’s the attitude.
Sure enough the interpretation of “doing my bit” can differ from person to person but you should cherish what you still have available to you as freedom of movement, use it wisely whilst you can. If that means you need to change your way of doing things a bit, suck it up and act accordingly. Be sensible.

In other parts of the world those things we similarly took for granted, have been banned already.
I’ve left my house twice in the last three weeks based on the only reason we’re allowed to leave the house nowadays: groceries.
