Cycling in the time of Corona

No brakes obvs

The number of cases / deaths on the photo is a nice touch. It’s all the cyclists fault!

You London lot fucking it up for the rest of us, obviously. Or would we put it passed the mail to use a stock photo from months ago.

Of course they are, see above. Same for their pic of four and a half people enjoying the sunshine somewhere in Cambridge: let's take a picture with a telelens and then pretend everybody was super close together.

(Btw remind me, do you speak / understand German?)

Rode out to Rainham up and down the Beam and Ingrebourne then a quick spin past the cement barges and reclaimed landfill mountain. The detergent they dump in the river near there must be good for the lungs right?

Outside the North Circ, very few people out and about, maybe they have big TVs and backyards.

Also 🎶🎵 saw the police and they rolled right past me
No flexin', didn't even look in a cyclist's direction as I ran the intersection 🎵🎶

Lots of cops out but.

Gotta say it was a good day....

Ich spreche/verstehe etwas Deutsch, aber mit anderthalb Jahren zurück in Schottland ist es schwer, es in meinem Kopf zu behalten.

This guy is doing it right. Bung him some money.

Oh that's not bad at all, might save me from having to translate this quote:

"Diese Zeitung ist ein Organ der Niedertracht. Es ist falsch, sie zu lesen. Jemand, der zu dieser Zeitung beiträgt, ist gesellschaftlich absolut inakzeptabel. Es wäre verfehlt, zu einem ihrer Redakteure freundlich oder auch nur höflich zu sein. Man muss so unfreundlich zu ihnen sein, wie es das Gesetz gerade noch zulässt. Es sind schlechte Menschen, die Falsches tun." - Max Goldt über die Bildzeitung

This is German author Max Goldt about the German 'Bild', but it's 100% applicable to the Daily Mail too...

That’s nuts. Will definitely chuck him a few quid

Gang of ambos on standby out back of Excel.

Man muss so unfreundlich zu ihnen sein, wie es das Gesetz gerade noch zulässt.

That's a good line-pretty much sums up my feelings about Brexit voters too...

Sounds like the Epping e-bike crew.

They're never more than 2 metres from the tea hut, let alone each other

Quite a few cyclists out this afternoon, mostly families on leisure rides. Mostly it looked like this though.

Loads of riders on the A2 heading out towards Kent today while we were out for our daily exercise.

This is how you keep it real;

Saw a couple come past on a tandem whilst I queued outside Sainsbury’s local on Clapham road. Strong look.

I did. I think it's pretty cool what he's doing.

It's coming.

Fucking wanker.

“My message is really clear, if you don’t want us to have to take the step to ban exercise of all forms outside of your own home then you’ve got to follow the rules.”

Ffs. By rules, does he mean the loose guidelines that he introduced despite that approach failing when they tried it in neighbouring countries?

Yes but sunbathing?

Is vitamin D production
