2km limit as the crow flies or measured on accessible public roads/paths? ...if there's money involved the line has to be drawn carefully.

2 km radius.

Where's the Daily Mail story calling for motoring to be banned?

Why was only the driver fined?

Some of the answers are quite diplomatic.

I listened to that with interest this morning hoping to learn something. No definitive answers

There are no what you are calling definitive answers early in an outbreak for specific conditions. That might many more months away. Such things can never be enough for health anxiety and particularly with asthma.

Part of my reason for cycling is that if I keep my cardio V in good nick it will lessen the effects of my asthma.
Yet the advice for severe asthmatics is self isolation - so that's not going out on the bike. That doesn't seem right to me.

Do what feels right for you as there are no rules in a pandemic as know one knows the answers........as yet

I believe Wednesday is the day the govt and states get together here to review the situation, with growing pressure to start relaxing the lockdown for the sake of the economy. I feel sorry for the French having to prolong this.

Address from the Minister president of Baden-Württemberg. He doesn't seem to think there will be any relaxation of the rules soon.

As far as I can tell, I'm still allowed to go to Freiburg to start work next month, but I will be checking if they don't relax some rules soon.

There are rules though (rightly or wrongly)

Latest weekly death figures are out.

Weekly death figures

Figures with commentary and charts

Total deaths all ages:

Week ending 20th March 10,645
Week ending 27th March 11,141
Week ending 3rd April 16,387

The 3rd April figures are the highest recorded since the ONS starting publishing them in 2005

The reason for me quoting all deaths is that much the same figures, broken down, form the basis of modelling excess winter deaths from flu. A few more weeks like the above would see an entire bad flu season's excess winter deaths exceeded in less than a month. And it's not even winter any more.

That is a handy page. Without crossing my own trail, I could ride a 9.75 mile lap, all on roads, while staying in the perimeter, except for 50 yards just outside because of where the road goes.
living in England rather than NI, this isn’t an issue, but an interesting exercise.
I can see that I can still ride along the river path to ‘the big gate’ too, should I wish.

Cant see the govt putting a tighter clampdown on cyclists - can't see that it makes sense on any front. I did wonder about the risk of accidents - but from what I have read eye injuries from DIY are the biggest increase for A & E under the lockdown.
