I am not government or police, I leave it to your own judgement.

that's a distorted representation of my thinking. Some members usually make blanket remarks. Some are reasonably valid such as 'buy cheap buy twice' but some are just plain wrong 'Chinese bikes are rubbish'. It's like cookery. A good cook can make a decent meal out of cheaper ingredients but...

Cummings was seen running away from 10 Downing Street about an hour ago with a heavy rucksack.

didn't you oppose leaving your home by bike?

the only time I needed the A&E department was when I cut my hedge with large secateurs perching on a tall ladder.

As you know, battery is the most expensive component. my rambletta has a battery whose capacity is twice as large, using more expensive Samsung cells and I fitted a monoshock suspension fork instead of a U-tube. The basic material is the same, you can select what you like. So instead of saying...

he would still be stuck with his security people in the same car.

the seller lives in China, Shenzhen in fact, but the bike is 'made' in Poland. Just read the advert.

that risk comes unfortunately with the job. I feel sorry for his girlfriend and unborn baby, also for his close entourage. He should have got himself tested several times a week.

BTW, BJ tested positive in case you haven't heard the news about 20 minutes ago.

BTW, BJ tested positive for COVID19 in case you haven't heard. it's on the BBC about 20 minutes ago.

If I get it bad, I would probably choose to stay at home. Only 25% of our at risk group recovered from ICU and the treatment is quite invasive.

but they take the car because it is a better method. They would have taken a lot more risk walking the streets because the parks are closed. Put yourself in their place. If you live in a towerblock in London, where would you take your kids so they can run around a bit? Some parks in London are...

the bigger picture is how we are going to live leave alone pay for it and/or the taxes if nobody goes to work if the lockdown is not lifted soon. Lockdown works this time because the number of spreaders is relatively small. Next time, lockdown won't even work.

that's true, the risk of accident is there whenever one goes from A to B, even indoors, more so in a car. but it needs to be put into perspective. hospitals are not full right now, except in London. As I said before, I expect the rules to be tightened in a couple of weeks when the virus bites...

sadly I am self isolating most of the time. Only go out on the keyboard, except an hour a day walking to the seafront and back.

you notice also that advice is not taken up by other police forces. As ocscid said, not one size fits all. The rules may tighten in a week or two when the CV bites hard but we are not there yet.

I don't disagree with you. I posted a link to government website where the rules are spelt out. The rules are deliberately kept simple, so subject to some interpretation. Driving to the countryside for health reason is not on the list. Coronavirus (COVID-19): what you need to do Find out...

the rules need to be enforced but with common sense. If you live in a city, it's worse taking public transport or walking compared to driving. That's why congestion charge in London is suspended. If you need a walk, the parks are closed. What are you going to do? If you live in the country...

drive to the countryside for exercise is a reasonable thing to do and not contrary to government advice. https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus QUOTE: Coronavirus (COVID-19): what you need to do Stay at home Only go outside for food, health reasons or work (but only if you cannot work from home)...
