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

It still wasn’t guidance or a recommendation just a view on what a normally inactive person should be able to manage.

No it wasn't, have another listen.

I did, doesn’t change what he actually said.

There are no mandated maximum limits either in law or in the guidance on exercise.

You are seeing guidance where no such guidance was issued , and nor would it be an appropriate place for such matters. Stick to the law and what is published and you won’t go wrong nor be bending any rules. The law is what police enforce.

I can only think it's you who doesn't know the difference, I've separated the difference in a few posts now.

"Well, obviously it depends on each individual's fitness. "I would have thought that for most people, a walk of up to an hour, or a run of 30 minutes or a cycle ride of between that, depending on their level of fitness is appropriate."

Goves opinion, nothing more, nothing advisory, nothing legislative.

It ain’t over...

In Italy they started to give hundreds of euros in fines to the people who were pushing their luck and it seems like that solved the problem quickly.

Not according to Italian press. They report that yesterday, despite 30,000 fewer checks being made than the day before, there was a record high of fines issued: almost 9,300. This included 10 people who were infected and violated their personal quarantine.

This (London specific) notes that temporary measures may be put in place by those managing open spaces. So local parks management may add extra rules.

Back to riding for a min, I rode today Richmond to Sheen , Sheen to Twickenham , Twickenham to Richmond. I was as I thought riding solo , but as I was plodding along it did dawn on me that at every set of lights or roundabout i was on the tail of , and others were on my tail , we became a group by circumstance , mostly as I riding solo , but to those around us we would have resembled a group of riders bobbing through , observing the 2m rule as best we could we navigated through the towns and then peeled off to go on toward our own destinations without any fuss, A photo would have suggested we were cyclists behaving badly ,

And then, once you've been misled by that, see here for what the law does and doesn't allow you to do:

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/350/made

which, incidentally, specifies several other reasons for which you may legitimately leave home (and also allows for other, unspecified purposes provided they are reasonable).

What's so special about this thread? They dare not stop out exercise. That women from Newcastle even had her case overturned. What a joke.

Yes, I spoke to friends of mine in Italy. Mainly people in the North of Italy are following the rules after the fines were introduced, while people in the south of Italy are still behaving like morons and that's where most of the fines come from.

Me too-really heartening to see so many families out and about.

I have been following*** the cycling progress of a little boy in a local cul-de-sac. His dad has been teaching him to ride his bike in the traffic-free road. The first few times I spotted him he could only keep going for a couple of seconds. I saw him a week or so later and he was whizzing through a slalom made of 6 or 7 large paint tins spread out every couple of metres in a line down the road. It is impressively rapid progress and he seems to love riding the bike!



*** I pass the end of the street on my way to the shops.

There may be regional differences in compliance but nationally the number of fines is at a record high so it was wrong to conclude that as a result of the introduction of fines 👇

it seems like that solved the problem quickly.
