Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #60 In fact, a full government strategy document been made available this afternoon here; on page 27 it states: "...the Government is updating the rules so that, as well as exercise, people can now also spend time outdoors subject to: not meeting up with any more than one person from outside your household; continued compliance with social distancing guidelines to remain two metres (6ft) away from people outside your household; good hand hygiene, particularly with respect to shared surfaces; and those responsible for public places being able to put appropriate measures in place to follow the new COVID-19 Secure guidance. [...] People may drive to outdoor open spaces irrespective of distance, so long as they respect social distancing guidance while they are there, because this does not involve contact with people outside your household. When travelling to outdoor spaces, it is important that people respect the rules in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and do not travel to different parts of the UK where it would be inconsistent with guidance or regulations issued by the relevant devolved administration." As far as I'm concerned, I think that's a pretty unequivocal signal for me to buy road tax for my RS again tomorrow

There was a long article on the front page of my newspaper today predicting that the traffic in the San Francisco Bay Area would be extremely heavy once the virus restrictions were completely lifted and people could return to work. (It was already really bad before the pandemic.) This prediction is made because the author figures that a large number of people will avoid riding public transit, carpools and ride-sharing services, due to infection concerns and due to the various transit systems falling apart because of a lack of funding. The public transit systems around here are currently operating at about 10% of their previous patronage. I imagine that could also happen in other metropolitan areas, too.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #65 it's official policy in England (but not Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland) - go to work if you can't work from home but drive, ride or walk. Avoid buses and trains, to paraphrase Boris |

Might be handy for someone coming across, so to speak, an ill informed Special Constable in England |

Thanks Wessie, I copied the MCN article to my phone last week (with their reference to a discussion with “a no 10 spokesman”) but I think this document is rather more clear. To my mind well worth carrying, I do understand the challenge for police officers to handle the nuances of lock-down transitions and with some groups of riders pushing boundaries I’m sure they will get complaints and feel irritated at times, that could spill over into difficult conversations. |

Yesterday was the first time the bikes were started in seven months and the first time I've been out of town in three months.

Would love to be able to have another four week run across europe but thanks to a "little cold virus " and being unwilling to take suspect advice regarding drinking disinfectant (who was that?) I doubt it will happen this year. |
