What was not clear?

Well some people think we can cycle, other people think we can't. I think it needs clarfying.
Maybe its just me.
Edit.
Having read other posts, its not just me

The PM last night said people can do 1 exercise outside each day. Either walking, running or cycling. The important thing is to not come into contact with anyone else

Boris Johnson specifically said we could cycle in last nights address to the nation.

Just getting my MOT done in time. He is ready to shut up shop but said he would do it. Even although he is allowed to remain open and has plenty work he has decided to close for the health of himself and staff. Think it will be closed in the next day or two.

 

[Dave7]

Yes, but for how long is the question being asked, can we do a 3 or 4 hour solo ride, or are we limited to an hour, or half an hour, theres been nothing defined officially.

Petsonally I would prefer him to say that 2 people can go together. At our age and beating in mind what happened to me at the weekend I think that makes more sense.
There is no one in my extended family that cycles, apart from my son, and he is 60 miles away.
I cycle with just on regular mate. Fortunate in that we enjoy similar mileages.

Personally, I made the decision not to go out for rides during those demanding times for the following reason: the NHS has enough on its hand and it would be selfish and inconsiderate of me to expect their services should anything happen to me on a ride. Treating people suffering from the virus is more important than any cycling injuries, so I will set up my home turbo again and use that.

I cannot disagree with you there.

In that case Dave, if you don't want to cycle on your own, don't have anyone near enough to cycle with, then the answer is don't cycle. They can't make different rules for every single person for every single eventuality. It is what it is.

 

[Dave7]

It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that you are on your own and stay that way.

As I said, I would prefer that he allowes us to cycle in pairs. At our age you never know when you will need help.
I am not arguing. As I also said, I do not envy BOJO at the moment and will go with what he asks.

Hey..... I am not arguing with him. I am merely stating a preference. If I can't do it then thats the answer.
Lets not start falling out over this.

Hello again. I've been awake since 4.00! ☹😭

It's now officially a beautiful day. I will finish the first coat in the kitchen. At 9.00ish I will walk to the garage and establish the position on MOTs.

Shortly after this I will call the dentist.

I'm going to discuss cycling with Mrs P. This may have to wait......she was still awake and reading in the spare room when I woke at 4.00........there may be trouble ahead, he hummed quietly to himself. 😂

I am going to do you a BIG favour. I know that the virus will never touch you so......
when you have finished all your painting and are looking for jobs to do.......you can come here and paint a couple of rooms
How generous am I then.

 

[Mo1959]

Jeez......could this even force me into doing some housework some days for something to do!

 

[Dave7]

I see garages are on the list that can remain open, so presumably as long as they are still getting enough business they will.

I emailed the dentist last night to cancel my check up. Don't see the point of putting myself or anyone at the surgery at any risk.

I lost a filling just before this kicked off. Its not hurting and is in a place I clean quite easily. Not sure what to do.
