Heard that, hoardes of them rather than grouping together was actually what I thought she meant. Either way, funny how she mentions their mode of transport.

I didn't hear it read it on BBC website so your first hand interpretation is probably more accurate.

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?

It's hard to avoid the conclusion that a significant proportion of the fixed penalties imposed to date by the police would be overturned if they ever came to court.

I wonder if some were nurses or other NHS staff .Or others providing essential services.
There certainly could have been as for some reason all she seemed to see were cyclists. I hope she doesn't use the same train of thought in her professional life.

They’d have to be. Courts have to rule on matters of law, not an officers whim, hunch, or misinformed interpretation of guidelines.

A friend of mine lives near Box hill, which as we know is closed. I looked on Strava and because I am as bored as hell at the moment looked at who went past there today in a random segment. Out of the top 25 fastest people their individual rides averages at about 47miles each. One bloke had done 106miles today and another 75m there were quite a few in the 20's and 30's but still enough high distances to push up the average.

I have had some quite serious discussions with people in supermarkets not complying with the simple measures put in place ,I thought the last one was going to turn violent after I merely politely asked him to follow the one way arrows.
Glancing at the shelves for a suitable defence weapon all I could see was cucumbers which probably wouldn't have helped much.

Cycling is my big stress reliever so I don't call out anyone for anything when out on the bike, Im not letting anything spoil the highlight of my day.

I cant do a supermarket in one go, following the arrows, one direction. I have to have the freedom to go back to places I have passed. Sorry, its nothing personal, I've tried and to doesn't work for me.

You can exit the supermarket and rejoin the back of the queues. Please don’t flout the rules and put lives at risk.
