https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1156837538017448&id=737204596647413 Just a heads up in case anyone is thinking of a sneaky ride oop north this bank holiday weekend...
What if random testing showed that the Wuhan virus was already prevalent in the population? 50% or more? What if testing showed that people are more readily infected where they are closeted in together compared to if they are outdoors? What if testing demonstrated that the lethality rate of the virus were several orders of magnitude lower than that touted by health officials? How is the testing going, by the way? Are there any stats on numbers of people who test negative one day and get infected a couple of days later? Opinion: Testing, if it is reliable, is broadly only useful for two things - healthcare workers, for obvious reasons and as a random sampling method, for determining the true impact that the Wuhan virus is having on the population.
Easy targets, to make it look like the police are doing their bit. If they want to help prevent the spread of this virus, they should be dealing with the mouth breathers in my area who have no idea what "social distancing" means.
Better in Mid Wales for a sneaky ride, just have too get round Telford which is easy enough from here, riding A roads is asking to get lifted.
On my walk yesterday, I saw a couple driving their Mercedes convertible with a couple of large saplings in the back seats. By "saplings", I don't mean children, I mean small effing trees.
Loads of bikes out in Kent. very jealous. For the first time since I stopped riding on the road I’ve wished I had a road bike
The trouble with Hartside is that it's a bike meeting place and like shooting fish in a barrel. I think you'll be fine in Northumberland / Cumbria if you avoid the hot spots. I imagine Devil's bridge will be the same. After all, the doughnut eaters won't put too much effort into this, they'll just go to the rich pickings.
If during this current climate there are still rich pickings at the regular haunts for the doughnut eaters .... what does that say about the intelligence of the stupid biker community?
It's called "Low Hanging Fruit" and the Chief Constables are mad for it. They reward their subordinates who chase it, in preference to, oh, you know ... crime.
