If cycling getting stopped because of a further general lock down then fair enough, but your suggest that changing our actions now will have an bearing on this rubbish. cyclist will just be caught up in stopping motorists moving about.
When the lockdown first happened I did say that a couple of times on this thread but my opinion changed.
I think you are right, when it happens it will be because of a general tightening but I also believe that the government will cite reasons for the tightening and the perception of excessive car journeys and cycling will like be one of the mostly bullshit reasons given to justify it.

This is the part of your argument that I take issue with. I don't see any evidence of this. Yes RLJ and generally the red tops love to give cyclist a kick any chance they get. But currently there's a lot of other shit going on and I can't see any evidence that cyclist taking the piss is something that's being reported on or discussed in the wider community at all.

Right now there doesn't seam to be any suggestion that a further lock down is coming. Matt Hancock doubled down on the get out and get some exercise line last night and also said driving to walk the dog is also fine. If anything that's the rules being relaxed from the general perception of the rules from a week ago.
