It’s designed by experts including data scientists, of course it allows for population density.
Don't ride in groups or we will be stopped cycling completely.

Just had a look at the app website. Appears the data is for participants under 60. The percentage shown is of participants, not of the population, and is an estimate. My assertion stands that stats are meaningless, particularly in relation to how good or otherwise our citizens might be.

Erm well of course it is, it’s called sampling and is part of statistics. How on earth could it be answers from the whole UK population? The sample sizes are statistically valid in calculating the infection rates in the different areas.

Maybe not just groups now? Maybe we need to think about how far or how much time we spend on the bike? Clear message from Professor Leitch (National Clinical Director) at today's First Minister brief (Scotland) - Exercise is Exercise. Not Recreation. Not your hobby. Do not go mountain biking. Keep it to 30-60 minutes from your door to stay healthy.

The usual routes in NI have checkpoints with fines being handed out. (Driving)

Yes, and for Gods sake don’t enjoy it.
The guy’s opinion, however lofty his title, are just opinions, nothing more, and not law.

Not law, but having said it the would the police now consider it unnecessary travel if they stopped a cyclist who was 50 miles from home?

Round here they would if you travel 50 miles by car to exercise so I don't really know. Possible.

whatever happened to legislation? Is law now just an ad hoc series of whims, ideas, postulations uttered by the high and mighty and then enforced by Jumped-up badge flashers?
I find an early morning or, a late evening ride to be a good time as there are fewer people and therefore you are less likely to draw attention from the Police.. Yes enjoy it but, I think racing against a mate, or some hard core downhill mountain biking that could end up requiring the services of the 'already stretched' NHS should be avoided at this time though. IMO of course

I think you'll struggle to find a police officer in the country who would have the time or inclination to be stopping any cyclist, walker or jogger. You're allowed to exercise, full stop. They're busy enough right now breaking up social gatherings, gangs of kids etc. If they ever get that under control they can move on to pulling over all these dicks that are thrunging around on their motorbikes like it's TT week.
Believe me, there is plenty for dibble to be getting on with before they will start bothering people who are clearly exercising. (Occasional deluded Senior Officer notwithstanding).
