Social distancing

[kevinchess1]

Silly "expert" doctor on BBC news Q&A's about 9:50am this morning ,said it was very unlikely you could catch coronavirus outdoors.

In context, the streets are all but deserted and those who venture out, the vast majority, 99.9999% are following social distancing rules so not so silly.

Yes same here
Not many people out and those that are, are keeping well away from me
Not that it's an issue for me with me ski mask and leather gloves

Or more likely telling it like it is. Too many cyclists think they can do what they want when they want and give the respectable ones a bad name.

Yes
Even with what going on, I've yet to read about cyclists being fined

So the conversation went like this:

Directed at a cyclist who is riding on a narrow pavement coming from behind me and passing me within inches at speed: "Excuse me, why are you riding on the pavement when the road is completely empty and there is a dedicated cycle lane?"

Reply from cyclist: "Fu%* Off Di£kh€&d"

My reply: "Thank you! Thank you! Now I understand... you are a complete Pri%k" Its nice to have things explained...

Next time I may ask if they know what social distancing means... might have a little difficulty getting any sense back on that one.

You must be famous amongst the cycling community which is probably why they wind you up.

I doubt it, see too many cyclists thinking they own the world and that they have to right to cycle on pavements. Most of the time I see them from my car and have yet to speak to any of them.

I am serious about this... Why do they think they can come so close to people on the pavement? It is wrong and it should be stopped. One of us pedestrians/cyclists should not use the pavement. But what should we do with the empty cycle lanes?
