Are you observing Lockdown 2.0?

'PRESS RELEASE

Recreational motorcycling in England permitted under new measures.

This version: 2020-11-11

The Coalition of Motorcycling Organisations (COMO) has examined
legislation and guidance for the new lockdown in England. If you are
not required to self-isolate, the rules do permit riding alone or with
one other individual. You are still subject to the social distancing
rules and other measures.

Many riders have been asking whether riding alone is allowed under the
new lockdown rules. Government has clearly stated that riding as
essential travel is allowed. We looked into rules on riding for leisure
and mental well-being which are not so clear.

We have studied both the legislation and the guidance and have concluded
that the rules do permit riding for pleasure, alone or with a mate.

You can ride for recreation on public roads so long as you are:

• on your own
• with one person from another household, or
• with the people you live with (your household) or your support
bubble

Bikers congregating in groups is not allowed under the legislation and
will draw unwanted attention, as will any reckless riding. Please use
good judgement and avoid any action that will adversely affect the
reputation of motorcycling.

We will publish a revised version of the Covid-safe motorcycling
guidelines once we understand the situation after the current lockdown
period expires.' quote from MAG.
Seems to me it is up to the individual to use common sense .Some might not want to ride on moral grounds, some might think it could pose a risk to NHS in case of an accident, some might think there is no problem if precautions taken when filling up with petrol. All these things have been mentioned by others previously. If weather is fine I will probably go for a ride but probably not as far as I would usually travel.
