I was doing deliveries for the local charity, hence the bags on the sides. Roads are nice and quiet, but already getting busier again, and the only cars out are driving faaaast.
Been hitting some byways/green lanes maybe once a week as alternate routes to/from an essential journey. Just cos it’s a detour on a fun potholed gravel track doesn’t mean it’s not essential travel. The advice says essential travel, not shortest route.
To be honest I have tried to cut down the riding to a few times a week, but since setting the mtb back up and trying to get on the pedestrianised gravel tracks and cycleways it is more dangerous being on a push bike. The shitload of people out and not social-distancing is horrendous. I feel at greater risk having to slow to pass all these people in close proximity.

Who has all been using their motorbike during lockdown then?
Mine has been languishing since winter kicked in, might have used it once or twice since October I think. Surprisingly it fired straight up when I tried it the day before yesterday.
Took it out today, with Mrs m_v on the back, to grab some shopping for her parents who are isolating and hooked up their new broadband router while we were there (they retreated to another room then we wiped everything we had touched).
Got so many disapproving stares from peds, drivers and bus passengers.
