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

It’s alright, they have herd immunity

A farm shop I frequently visit has message on their website.No one in the vulnerable age group or has symptoms similar to Covid 19 will not be admitted Being aged 79 apparently puts me in the vulnerable age group..

The equality act has not been repealed and it's unlawful to refuse an adult goods or services on the grounds of age. I can understand them not wanting infected people wandering about the shop, but a healthy and uninfected 79 year old is no more risk to staff or other shoppers than a healthy and uninfected 21 year old.

Has anyone else had walkers turn their back on them while you were riding past? This has happened to me twice now. Both cases were on a bridleway wide enough for a farm vehicle so passing distance was greater than 2 meters.

Not that I've had people move off the path, but by the same token if there is a place for me to stop & move sideways into a gateway or something I have done that, weigh up the situation & work out who it easier for.

Just back from a ride with Mrs D;

Sign on the gate to a field of horses made me laugh; 'Cyclists! Stay 2m away from this gate, Covid 19 social distance rules'. For one I didn't know the rules included inanimate objects and secondly, was it ok for non-cyclists to get up close and personal with the gate?

Less funny was the punishment pass for not being on the shared use path and there definitely seemed to be quite a bit more traffic about.

I thought that yesterday when I was out, I've been crossing the A1 because I currently can, normal time 10-15 minutes, under 2 minutes currently, last few times it's been a single HGV or a HGV & a couple of cars, yesterday I had to actually wait for a line of cars to go past, might just have been bad timing, but on one of the other roads there did seem to be more, nothing scientific just observation.

 

[CanucksTraveller]

I've made the same observation Phaeton, I only go out every few days but it's getting steadily busier each time. Unscientific perhaps, but stark enough to be really notable.
