Essential travel only - So.......

[seeyalater]

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned it or if they have I've not seen it. The lockdown. Are we grounded as going out on our bikes is non-essential travel, or can it be our one outing per day?

Now before anyone says "just do what Boris says etc" It's a question on many minds. More so as we technically do not need to socialise to ride.

Personally, I will be seeing how the next week or so goes. But even if someone nipped out for a ride, will they really be able to police it.

Lets keep this positive.

Nothing stopping you going food/pet/medical/hardware shopping on the bike, better & safer than using public transport

At least with quiet roads they could go and fill in some of the fucking potholes now

@Riejufixing

one form of exercise a day - for example, a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household;

as were talking about leisure and not work or shopping.

Living on Anglesey...which has one of the lowest population per square mile in the uk....Now the fucked off all the idiots trying to self isolate here, several dog walking friends of mine on FB were impressed they got stopped whilst taking the 1 dog walk a day and asked what they were doing! The old bill on the A55 which is the main way across north wales are also pulling anything camper van,caravan or cars which look to be going on holiday with the fam and turning them around..... so if your car doesnt have a local reg plate your getting pulled!

It sucks but doing any form of non essential travel is quite selfish right now.

The guilt would be horrendous if I took up ambulance and bed resources because I went for a leisure ride/drive.

I don't feel good about driving to work right now but I need to go in to the office today but fortunately I'll be the only one going in

[P.]

I'm still travelling to work every day, roads are not too empty but police are stopping people.

Haven't considered using the bike yet. Weather temp still starts with a 1 so.. no thanks

Never though about the crash + bed spaces aspect, cheers

I went for a drive out into the Dales yesterday for my dose of exercise, it was fantastically quiet, and a really nice afternoon too. Properly smelled like spring.

Feeling guilty about it now

[seeyalater]

The taking up a bed point is really good. I've seen that people are getting stopped but also saw its unlikely to be in trouble driving alone or out on a bike.
But, the big picture is as said above with beds.

Fortunately/unfortunately I have relatives in the "at-risk" categories so I do actually need to drop off stuff to them. Wife does the big stuff in her car and I do the small stuff on the bike... just the way it goes

Bearing in mind the old adage that most accidents happen in the home, surely from the point of view of A&E resources we are better off self-isolating beyond the garden gate?

Over the course of the next few weeks I predict millions of saw injuries, electrocutions, garden forks through feet etc... Not to mention clubbing/knifings as a result of domestic violence because we are cooped up with people we can ordinarily escape from.

I may be wrong, but I'd bet that the chances of ending up in hospital from walking the dog more than once a day is lower than that of DIY.
