Could do with clarification on cyclists distance and lockdown from gov

[andybk]

Anyone know rules on lockdown and cyclists ? there are loads of them around here at moment from local city 10 + miles away ,never ending stream down the road , i think france has a 1km limit , To be fair they are lone ones , and i have no problem with people getting exercise and turn blind eye to any locals , but some of this lot seem to be using the quiet roads as an excuse to get their times up ,

They’ve got sweet FA else to do. If they’re not breaking any isolation rules then ‘live and let live’.
And to be fair, it’s cycling on quiet roads, not housebreaking to fund a crack habit...

Technically they shouldn’t be going very far from home should they? What if they have an accident etc?

Whats the harm, honestly? People taking control of their own mental health cycling on their own. Chances of viral spread minute. The last thing we should be doing is shutting down cyclists and walkers. They've shut Pembs Coast path - the whole 186 miles of it - way ott. The low hanging fruit of viral spread is still open - the tube, buses, lots of offices etc.

And planes are still flying in with passengers from places like Spain/ Italy etc with no controls on what they can do for 14 days as soon as they step off the plane!

This is all going to end very badly if it goes on for much longer than 3 weeks and people end up locked in their houses for months on end, especially as its coming into spring/summer.

I believe all club rides have been suspended, it is probably the best way to exercise

The MOD has jets doing target practice locally. I am not going to speculate why as there is enough guessing already.

For all we are told the country is in ‘lockdown’, Guth is correct. This is the flight track of planes in the air over Europe right now:

I used to road run ,marathons ect . Nearly finnished my knees so bought a bike , knees fine now

 

[Exfarmer]

I cant do 50 yards running, kills my knees

I don't think cyclists will be on the no1 hate list of people anymore, other groups will soon be at the top thou if they carry on like they have been the last few days.

Flying should be banned for ever , they bought the virus and worse still they are destroying the climate , if you want too sit on the beach go to Pembroke

Behave @Dry Rot - they’ve been bombing there for the last 50 years. If they start lining up on Alness, that will be more of a worry (maybe, -ish....). ?

absolutely agree if its one lesson we learn from this, is passenger air travel should immediately stop from infected countries , if your stuck there tough , im sure insurance companies could cover that , return maybe only by boat that should tick the quarantine box to a degree

well the ones training as it were , gobbing spit and snot and the rest on the pavements and roads for the walkers to pick up on their shoes , maybe if they were taking a sedentary ride this wouldnt be nessesary
