These days I’d have a job walking 5km in ordinary shoes let alone cycling shoes.🦶🦶👠👠🤣🤣
Don't ride in groups or we will be stopped cycling completely.

Is there anything more to say, other than "Don't do it - or just see what happens!"?

Dead farking right. Derbyshire plod with an UZI and a shoot to kill policy for lone dog walkers is a farking brilliant idea. Rock on.

It would have to be a very severe problem to stop you pushing a bike, especially a road bike, 5km?

Knowing this thread has digressed somewhat I thought it could be helpful to provide the current advice sent to all affiliated clubs by British Cycling. For information only:
Important information on club rides
The power of the bicycle is becoming clearer than ever, and we’d like to thank you heeding our message to stop all club activity, and for continuing to follow Government guidance. As a reminder of what that Government guidance is, right now we should only ride on our own, or with people we live with, keeping two metres apart from anyone we meet, and stopping and waiting for people to pass when necessary.
While you should only use your bike to exercise once a day, you can also use it to shop for basic necessities, provide care or help somebody vulnerable, and travel to or from essential work.
As the days continue, we must remember that we cannot and must not take this privilege to cycle for granted. Keep riding responsibly, take care, and we will get through this together.

There's a guy around here, pretty useful competitive rider, has had some good success in XC MTB amongst other things. He usually posts a link to his strava rides on Twitter and Instagram, when he does so he gets all the "wow, great ride!" etc.
Anyway, he's still doing the long rides and the tweeting, but a noticeable reduction in the congratulations messages. Simply put, he's not reading the room.

Enjoy your trips out while you can. I went to get food last night and masses of people (more than usual in the last 2 weeks) were out in parks and around town, not for exercise or so it appeared.... lots sitting on benches loafing about, people window shopping in estate agents on the streets, a big upsurge in blokes thrunging about on motorbikes at high revs for the fun of it... it looked like the barest lip service was being paid to the restrictions. I think there will be more, firmer restrictions after this weekend sadly, everyone in the supermarket queue last night appeared to be planning barbecues and many were out in couples and had to be spoken to by shop staff, I could overhear plans that clearly involved friends. Looks like people can't help themselves once the sun comes out.
You're in Hertfordshire? I have no idea why your message is full of such bad news, that is absolutely NOT what I'm seeing on Wirral.
And here's some actual data that tells us the lockdown is being observed, though it's a few days old now, it will get updated again soon.

I saw this the other day on another group, the interesting graph to me was the Work one, it appeared that more people are returning to work, no sure it that is correct or not.

Apologies if it comes across "Facebooky", that's the last thing I'd want to come across as!
I can only comment on what I saw in a one hour window, I went out the same time exactly a week before and the restrictions were being observed pretty well then. Hopefully I'm wrong, and I saw an unrepresentative sample, and maybe people will behave. I'm glad to hear it's being taken seriously elsewhere.
All I know for sure is that every single person I know well enough to have their phone in my contacts, so colleagues, friends, neighbours etc are all doing the lockdown thing. The only transgressions I've noticed is window cleaners turned up yesterday to clean neighbour's windows, that didn't seem essential to me and one of my neighbours still puts the dog in the car to drive to go for a walk even though we life near open countryside.
Apart from that, I'm reasonably positive about things.
