Are they the vile Lycra clad idiots or just normal people having a bike ride?

Just following "Guvmint’ guidelines...
Quote:
Walking and cycling
Walking and cycling will reduce pressure on the public transport system and the road network. Consider walking and cycling if you can. Local cycling schemes can be used. Your local council can help you plan your journey by providing maps showing dedicated paths and routes.
Where possible, try to maintain social distancing when you walk or cycle, for example when approaching or passing other pedestrians or waiting at crossings and traffic lights.
Where using bikes (private, docked or dockless) wash your hands for at least 20 seconds or sanitise your hands before and after cycling.

Quote:
If you have to travel (for example, to work or school), think about how and when you travel
To reduce demand on the public transport network, you should walk or cycle wherever possible. If you have to use public transport, you should try to avoid peak times.
Employers should consider staggering working hours, expanding bicycle storage facilities, providing changing facilities and providing car parking.

Re: Return of the cyclist scourge
We've had an influx of motorbikes and scooters in the village this afternoon. Suddenly living in a seaside village is losing it's shine.

I live at the seaside and i can go to the beach any time i like,so i have no problem with those less fortunate coming for a day out,we always get lots of bikers and scooter riders coming to town and given that people have been locked away for so long i think they deserve a day out.

Re: Return of the cyclist scourge
Cardiff centre is having a revamp to make more space for the MAMILs. They said at first it was to widen pavements to allow social distancing, then the bike lanes started to appear taking up the bus lanes. That means buses will have to stop in the only lane left, and block a major route through the city. Sustrans and the Greens are behind this I'm sure.
I just wish they would stop them riding through the pedestrian zones (signs banning them have been up for years). And why did they put a NextBike depot right in the middle of the pedestrian area?

England’s commuters will need to walk, cycle and even scoot more as ongoing social distancing will force them to seek alternative forms of transport, the Government has announced.
Addressing Saturday's Downing Street press briefing Transport Secretary Grant Shapps unveiled a £2 billion travel scheme to “to put cycling and walking at the heart of our transport policy.”

I don't usually but today was really over the top. Social distancing became much harder than usual. The instruction about meeting one other adult not in your household was really being pushed to extremes as well.
