One of the biggest advantages of living where you do during these times. I have family in the police and they have told me much the same.

I see a police vehicle most rides, properly something to do with the large number of large white "golf balls" at Menwith Hill and have to date not had any problems. Local police are normally cycle friendly in my experience promoting security marking and have not not picked on things like pedals with no reflectors, instead the bike got some very appreciative comments.

A Vehicle defect form. A notice to say what the travel restrictions are during Covid. The tenner he borrowed last night 😊
A policemans ball cancellation notice.

I always thought that the ticket was the fine. Every day is a school day, so you have a good day to.
The ticket is an invitation to make an optional payment in order to avoid the possibility of being prosecuted. Think of it as a sort of protection arrangement ...

The problem is common sense is actually rather rare.

It should only be used when absolutely necessary.

More sensibly, there are no football matches, no political rallies, no protest marches and jury trials have been stopped (large amount of police time is spent sitting on their arses waiting to give evidence).
Maybe after this we can look at whether the police should actually be at these large public events?

Many new laws are introduced by a short period of education followed by enforcement, so I would expect the coppers to now be issuing more tickets.
Worth bearing in mind a lycra clad cyclist may suggest to a non-cycling copper someone out for distance.
I've not seen much action around here, but I've been complying so have hardly been out.
My handful of weekly essential journeys are all barely more than a mile.
I'd use the bike, but cycling is off the menu at the moment for medical reasons.

I have been out on my bikes most days for shopping, and/or exercise around North London and South Hertfordshire areas. I have seen an enhanced Police presence about, and a much increased amount of cyclists about, but I have not seen anyone being pulled over and spoken to, and that includes myself.

Is there legislation on the distance that results in a fine?

Um, no. I saw three sets of policepeople talking to people. I only saw a ticket for the cyclist. In reality.

Ok, I saw two drivers and one cyclist pulled over. I presumed the drivers were being ticketed. I saw the cyclist being ticketed. Happy now? Jesus H.
