Riding My Bike During Lockdown ?

Nope.

 

.

 

Can’t see the problem in using it to get to work instead of public transport or to get essentials from the shop.

 

Not at this time, it can only be used to take you to work and back or go shopping for essentials.

 

So you can go out on a bicycle or walk the dog but not go out on a motorcycle.
This is my exercise to keep body and soul together.

 

Hi Glen C;
There’s a long thread I started on Sunday on this subject, it’s in ‘The Lounge’ under heading ‘Social Riding’.
Plenty answers there.
Ken.

 

Can’t believe people are still asking about this
All those people at the beach at the weekend selfish idiots
People rammed into park’s ditto
The countryside almost brought to a stand still by day trippers again selfish unthinking morons
Group of dickheads coughing into the faces of an elderly couple FFS mindless moronic scum
Unbelievable idiot on some social media site licking products on the shelf in a shop
Motorcycle riding for pleasure and putting unnecessary Pressure on our already pushed to the limit NHSin the event of an accident again unthinking selfish mor...........HOLD ON A MINUTE
SURELY THEY CANNOT MEAN US BIKERS IN ALL OF THIS
We’re the salt of the earth
We’re cool
We’re wearing gloves
And helmets
We’re very careful
Nah....when they say nobody is to make UNNECESSARY journeys they mean the general public not us
I’m right eh???
Am I??

FFS JUST FECKIN STAY AT HOME
IT WONT FECKIN KILL YOU
GOING OUT MIGHT
OR IT COULD KILL SOMEONE ELSE

 

Ride to essential work and back only I’d say. Ride to get food. Other than that just polish it!!

 

Seems to me if everybody rode to work on a motorcycle at this time everybody would be much safer (corona virus wise). There are still people packed like sardines on the London tube today.

 

There is a lot of strong feelings about this subject mate. It is a shame that you asked a question that has stirred that feeling up. Leave your bike in the garage unless for work or food and then move on and forget about the ranting responses.

 

Would taking the bike out for a spin not come under your daily exercise which we all are allowed to do. I mean, your moving your body around, using the mind to remember what gear you're in, concentrating on watching for danger signs, assessing your surroundings etc. I'd give it a go but remember this, you will have to fill up after a few days so make sure you use gloves at the petrol stations. I keep a bunch under my seat in case they have run out of their own ones (which I wouldn't trust anyway!).

 

Short answer - no!

 

Doh, I'll just keep admiring my two then, sigh

Although you would be doing nothing to aid the spread of the virus we've been told no unnecessary journeys so that's it.
I'm a self-employed carpenter/builder and I'm not working on site so my work is non-essential. Good job I stocked up on some materials and can get stuck in at home! Driveway repairs today.

 

I guess the way to look at this is, if you had an off and had to be hospitalised that would be an unnecessary strain on NHS police/ambulance resources?

 

2021!
