Same on the Reddit bike forums. Moral: don't ride like a squid, and it's fine.

Or don't do what was happening at weekend, everyone carrying on as normal at the usual hangouts standing nice and close chatting to each other with their bacon butty and brew.

Heard a lot of stories yesterday of awful riding, so basically someone else posing the risk.

Bikes parked for a while I think

Do not come to North Wales and ride like a ****. Do not have an accident and take away a very scarce ICU bed. The health services in North Wales are precarious at best, the coming tsunami of coronavirus patients will most likely break it. Do not be the **** who is taking up a much needed ICU bed because you went off into the scenery.

But for the selfish idiots who may read this. If you come off your bike you will be in hospital with hundreds of coronavirus victims, so are guaranteed to catch it. As you are injured you will be compromised. You might die from it.

STAY THE **** AWAY.

This is making me angry, idiots who do not get that they will cause a huge explosion in cases in 10-14 days.

Ballycastle in July

Ballycastle Yesterday (many other biker haunts were the same)

I think all this might change very soon. Like later today. I smell a new regime where none of this will be allowed probably for many months.

Should have stocked up on Optimates and Oximisers
