From another (non-biking) site:

Health guidance from a retail newsletter:

"Motorcycling is characterised by a small group, or solo outdoor activity, which is still recommended at this time."

I'll drink to that.

yes, I saw that and thought: "great".

...then I thought, what it took was:

1) a global pandemic with a possible 4% fatality rate
2) a global recession with mass unemployment (likely)
3) a restriction on movement
4) no schooling

so, as an environmental improvement plan, it may need some work for it to be acceptable.

what this will do, and hopefully the effect is long term, is show to the big corporations and other office based businesses is that staff are able to work remotely and be productive.
Yes you can still schedule meetings for once a month/week/when needed, and make them count.
The reduction in commuting time, cost, environmental impacts, time at home etc is invaluable.
