Two bikers charged by police for travelling to Whitby for fish & chips yet cyclists are allowed to cycle all day if they want.
I was chased by a plod on a high speed pursuit police pushbike a couple of days ago.Two bikers charged by police for travelling to Whitby for fish & chips yet cyclists are allowed to cycle all day if they want.
I'm not sure they are Derek.Two bikers charged by police for travelling to Whitby for fish & chips yet cyclists are allowed to cycle all day if they want.
It is if the fooker breaks down & you have to push it home.Either way, it is pretty clear that cycling is exercise and motorised cycling just isn't.
good,point.It is if the fooker breaks down & you have to push it home.
I don’t think the time spent exercising is a problem, it’s the distance. My cycling at the moment is multiple circuits on the roads round Bretton and Crigglestone staying near home. I know of two blokes at the jail who did a 130 miler out to and over the Humber Bridge earlier this week which I think is out of order and if the cops see it on Strava they should have a word with them.Two bikers charged by police for travelling to Whitby for fish & chips yet cyclists are allowed to cycle all day if they want.

Lockdown rules prevent public gatherings so that knocks out group rides. Anyone is allowed out for daily exercise and I think anyone would struggle to argue that riding all day fits into that...but it is open to interpretation.
Either way, it is pretty clear that cycling is exercise and motorised cycling just isn't.
Apparently it’s a loop hole, there are no time or distance restrictions for exercising as long as you maintain the two metre rule, strava have actually set challenges.I don’t think the time spent exercising is a problem, it’s the distance.

I thought the rules specified an hour?I'm not sure they are Derek.

To be honest I'm not sure.I thought the rules specified an hour?
Very much depends on what you are doing though.To be honest I'm not sure.
Either way, an hour seems a sensible time to me.
And this left me completely knackered....still makes me laugh now!!Try being my weight & wrestling something like a GS1000 or even worse a Z1000 around for a couple of hundred miles at a decent rate of knots, trust me its not exercise its a full body work out that leaves you completely knackered
