Don't ride in groups or we will be stopped cycling completely.

First non-solo cyclists I've spotted since solo-only was instructed

Two guys chatting away, riding side by side this am. They gave me a cheery hello as I passed in the other direction. I shouted that they should be riding solo only. They've posted their rides (which were about 3.5 hours ) and they started in different locations.

It's twonks like these (along with the seaside revellers we will no doubt get tomorrow) that will encourage the government to push the button on tighter restrictions. I have absolutely no compunction whatsoever in calling folk out like these two. If they don't like it that's tough

Told by whom, and why ?

Scottish Government spokespersons, the message has been clear for anyone who listens to the radio here.
In order to reduce risk of spreading virus and reduce the possibility of others having to come to assist in event of accident or breakdown.
Of course rUK may be getting different messages.

A 40mph or lower speed limit has been bought in over here, to relieve the pressure on the emergency services

I can only hit that on the bike downhill. So don’t think that’ll affect group riding.

You are not pedaling fast enough

Make sense but only to sensible folk who are staying at home, there's some right nutters on the roads here

 

[carlosfandangus]

You are right, the same here, however the police are clamping down and publicising the new limit, the issue we have here that when you hit the unrestricted sign (white circle with a diagonal black stripe) it is just that, unrestricted under normal circumstances.... no upper limit, if you can do 200 mph you can

I only saw one group of MAWIL today, who were clearly extracting the urine, there were a few what looked like family groups out, but it was mum dad and kiddy on a tag along and the like, which is fine.

I've read somewhere that Gove is suggesting that one hour is suitable for a walk, 30 mins for a run and somewhere inbetween for a ride. Not a rule but a suggestion.

I must admit that at that level I probably would pack cycling in temporarily as a form of exercise. I have shortened my usual rides to around 90 mins and 45 mins would just be riding around streets, probably too fast, and would be less time than changing and showering.

On my ride today I concluded that speed limits had been removed completely for drivers of Audis and BMWs.

Didn't see anyone out today as I did't go out. My widow does look towards the access and narrow footway to a park I've seen a steady stream of people but no groups. What I did find bizarre is a pavement cyclist squeezing by folk on that narrow footway, why not use the empty dead end road I might go out tomorrow for my own sanity but it looks a lot windier.

that’s a steaming pile of merde. Probably from Facebook or something.

It’s a good job that nothing of the sort has been said then isn’t it?

Bizarre if true. Cycling's got to have far and away the lowest infection potential. And why the hell does it matter if I'm out on the same paths running or walking.

It's not only them I saw 3 cars this morning doing over 40mph through our 30mph village how do I know because of the big orange sign that was flashing at them telling them

Could be a typo in there, or could be a future prediction (hope not).
