Has anyone gone for a ride ?
Things happing today, lockdown and stuff, has anyone just gone for a ride ?.
I started my bike up and rode up and down the drive way, I don't want my brakes to lock up, haven't moved it since November last year. Just so scared to go on to the road incase I come off, and need nhs. Never really thought about it before but now just don't want to put my bured on them.... When will it be over, I need to clear my head on the open road.

It's not about the risk, it's just not the socially responsible thing to do.

I still get to ride twice a day (smile of the day) going to work (gripe of the day).
It's quiet out there.

Riding to work and back . Direct route. Bit boring and straight but the bike is getting used and warmed through.

Re: Has anyone gone for a ride ?
Not for a couple of weeks. I was going to go to the shops on it today on it, but in the end took the car as my wife was working from home for once. I will do at some point, to keep it going, but it'll double up for another purpose like shopping.
