I'm not going out anywhere other than work and the shop. Neither should you.
I had a long weekend booked this weekend to go camping with my mates. Instead I'm cleaning out the workshop and getting my bikes squared-away ready for when restrictions lift. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

Riding for pleasure is a not on the cards at the moment. It's simply not fair. For those staying safe at home or if you accidentally ended up on the tarmac. How would you feel about the police, an ambulance etc. being sent out to you in times like these? Taking up already limited / stretched resources? A trip to A&E? Hospital is the very last place anyone should want to be at the moment...
I have been on A/L all week, and its been lovely weather, and my bike is now clean as a whistle...but thinking on the above lines is the reason I haven't been out... ____________________ Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter won't mind - Dr. Seuss |

If you do want to go out on your bike, why not do something useful as well.

Thats a nice idea mate, sadly most of my time is taken up as a carer as it is, not being selfish but id like my bike for some ME time, but im sure some of the 600k volunteers to help the NHS must have bike liscences. |

That's fair enough, personally, I don't see an issue, not interacting with people, could always take a 'scenic' route to the shops. Being a carer will give you more reasons to be out and about if stopped and questioned.. Ultimately it's your call, as a carer, you ought to be taking even more precautions to attempt to avoid bring the infection back to who you're caring for.
Of course, what could also make a difference, is, whether or not you've had and recovered from the infection yourself, as, it's then liely you'll be immune, and as such, also not a carrier.. Again, even then, going out will still not be in the spirit of the restrictions ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

Tell me about it mate, its like a military operation at the moment, keeping a distance, face mask, hand gel you name it. Thats why if i did go out on it, i wouldnt stop anywhere, saying that the overwhelming advice seems to be not to do it, sounds like the right move at the moment.

In the spirit of reducing the spread of the virus it makes sense to limit travel. My sister lives up in Dumfries & Galloway in Scotland, and says the place is busier than normal at the moment with tourists and people going to their holiday homes, something the Gov'ment says shouldn't be happening, but with so few police about who's to stop them? ____________________ 2WHEElLover1951 |

Fully subscribed at the moment. They're asking us to wait a few weeks while they process the applications they've already received :-/
Personally I am leaving the house as little as possible but when I do have to leave the house I take my bike just to get that 'kick' we so sorely desire. It's like a little reward for the boredom I'm having to endure. ____________________ 2023 DucAudi Mehrstraße V4 Hechte Gipfel - "Objectively the best motorcycle ever produced" - "You can have any colour, as long as it's red"

If I can stay off it unless I need to get shopping or go to/from work, so can you. Police *are* stopping people, though that will vary by location. Around here, it's a given you'll be stopped if you're on a bike, this being N.Wales and attracts fuckwits that won't stay at home. |
I am the same.
Bike to/from work. For the first time in years I am enjoying my commute.
With most people off work, I feel I must enjoy playing with the road as most I can until people return to work and clog up the roads. ____________________ CBT: 12/06/10, Theory: 22/09/10, Module 1: 09/11/10, Module 2: 19/01/11

These are the regulations and are what Plod should be enforcing.
In terms of going out for a ride, it's here:
Restrictions on movement
6.—(1) During the emergency period, no person may leave the place where they are living without reasonable excuse.
(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1), a reasonable excuse includes the need—
(a)to obtain basic necessities, including food and medical supplies for those in the same household (including any pets or animals in the household) or for vulnerable persons and supplies for the essential upkeep, maintenance and functioning of the household, or the household of a vulnerable person, or to obtain money, including from any business listed in Part 3 of Schedule 2;
(b)to take exercise either alone or with other members of their household;
(c)to seek medical assistance, including to access any of the services referred to in paragraph 37 or 38 of Schedule 2;
(d)to provide care or assistance, including relevant personal care within the meaning of paragraph 7(3B) of Schedule 4 to the Safeguarding of Vulnerable Groups Act 2006(1), to a vulnerable person, or to provide emergency assistance;
(e)to donate blood;
(f)to travel for the purposes of work or to provide voluntary or charitable services, where it is not reasonably possible for that person to work, or to provide those services, from the place where they are living;
(g)to attend a funeral of—
(i)a member of the person’s household,
(ii)a close family member, or
(iii)if no-one within sub-paragraphs (i) or (ii) are attending, a friend;
(h)to fulfil a legal obligation, including attending court or satisfying bail conditions, or to participate in legal proceedings;
(i)to access critical public services, including—
(i)childcare or educational facilities (where these are still available to a child in relation to whom that person is the parent, or has parental responsibility for, or care of the child);
(ii)social services;
(iii)services provided by the Department of Work and Pensions;
(iv)services provided to victims (such as victims of crime);
(j)in relation to children who do not live in the same household as their parents, or one of their parents, to continue existing arrangements for access to, and contact between, parents and children, and for the purposes of this paragraph, “parent” includes a person who is not a parent of the child, but who has parental responsibility for, or who has care of, the child;
(k)in the case of a minister of religion or worship leader, to go to their place of worship;
(l)to move house where reasonably necessary;
(m)to avoid injury or illness or to escape a risk of harm.
(3) For the purposes of paragraph (1), the place where a person is living includes the premises where they live together with any garden, yard, passage, stair, garage, outhouse or other appurtenance of such premises.
(4) Paragraph (1) does not apply to any person who is homeless.
If I get stopped, I might tell them I'm off to take exercise.
There is no requirement for me to even speak to them and they actually caution you against saying anything.
They have no power to stop and check where you're going. |
