So, given that meeting with one person outdoors is OK, presumably cycling with a mate is permitted?
Is that right?
"People may exercise outside as many times each day as they wish. For example, this would include angling and tennis. You will still not be able to use areas like playgrounds, outdoor gyms or ticketed outdoor leisure venues, where there is a higher risk of close contact and touching surfaces. You can only exercise with up to one person from outside your household – this means you should not play team sports, except with members of your own household. " Pg 25 of the road map
1.7 Are there restrictions on how far I can travel for my exercise or outdoor activity?
No. You can travel to outdoor open space irrespective of distance. You shouldn’t travel with someone from outside your household unless you can practise social distancing - for example by cycling. Leaving your home - the place you live - to stay at another home is not allowed. Q&A document
More guidelines are due today about enforcement so that's not clear yet.
Advice health wise is if you meet up that's it for the day. So ride out with one mate then later another is not currently seen as a good idea health wise. What's not clear is if you meet up then other member of your house hold can't do the something with someone else the same day.
If you do social distancing is a must as is hand hygiene and don't share anything when out. If you have to help a mate out with a breakdown use your own tools and keep your mate well away.
