When i get to the bottom of my road, Cheshire is 1 mile away if i go left, Manchester is 2 if i go straight on and the centre of Stockport (where i live) is 4 if i go right I think (and there's a good chance I'm wrong) they said to exercise within 2km of home?

The official gov.uk rules say "you should not travel outside your local area" They also say "Personal training can continue one-on-one" And "You can exercise in a public outdoor place with 1 person from another household" so i can have a PT session in my local park tomorrow if I want and come into contact with him i could also run round the block with my neighbour and chat shit whilst we heavily breath near each other or i could go for a ride on my own and see no one Like RW says, common sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter desperado Posted January 11, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 11, 2021 I’m with @Ani on this one, I don’t think there’s a specific distance that specifies local, it’s very much at local Police discretion. If cycling is limited to within 2k then they should take cycling off the permitted outdoor exercise list. If I was to continuously cycle up and down CNR not only would it be of limited benefit to my health and well-being (which is what this hour of exercise is meant to be about isn’t it?) but I’d also come into contact and be interacting with far more cars, people, traffic and problems than if I was to cycle on the quieter roads to Belmont, Angkezarke, etc. As it happens I’ve only been cycling on the turbo because the roads are full of ice and slush, but I don’t think the likes of Ani with his dog and zico on his bike are breaking the local rule. The police I know round here would not prosecute you for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police I know round here would not prosecute you for that. Aye, the rules just say "stay local", they don't stipulate a distance or time scale I went no further than 9 miles from my house, i just crossed a road that meant i was in Manchester, not Stockport, though i didn't all of a sudden become a greater risk to myself or others because there was none to begin with Likewise I could do around the same distance in another direction and still be in Stockport and still be at the same risk, ie none What i can do though, is: - drop my daughter off at nursery where she mingles with several other kids and adults, then - take the dog for a walk and grab a coffee somewhere en route to takeaway - nip out at lunch to get a sandwich from somewhere - once my lunch has gone down meet a mate and go for a run - pick daughter up from nursery - nip to the supermarket for some tea - grab some beers from the offy All within the rules, all within a mile of home I could even mix it up and do different shops and mates every day I don't, as that seems risky to me, more so that cycling over an imaginary line Some people can also do all that, and go to work if THEY deem it necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traf Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 FWIW, I've no issue with anyone going on a massive bike ride on their own. Far less likely to catch/spread the virus on a bike than you are out walking/running. Re: the 2km rule that I thought might/might not be applicable, that was case in lockdown 1, but apparently not now. I suppose I'd have known if I actually did some exercise.

Escobarp Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Cycling is probably the safest exercise option unless an accident occurs but accident can occur with any exercise. tons of cyclists coming up the coast road near me and all will be crossing a council boundary 4 miles down the road. They are all breaking the rules which are clear here but each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all breaking the rules which are clear here but each to their own. It is the interpretation of ‘local’ that seems to cause an issue. It is hard to imagine an hours exercise on a bike that does not take you a few miles from home. As you say cycling itself seems very safe but if you have an accident or puncture you can not repair what happens ? You could say Zico was local based on his start and end point. I thought the local rule was to stop people driving to Touristy type places where people congregate. Too fat to cycle myself but might do 30 minutes on exercise bike in bedroom later.

(Not a reference to our lass) Surely any exercise takes you back where you started or how do you get home? the rules are wishy washy basically. Like you and others including Zico point out. Cycling cannot really be done in a local council area or whatever. Plus the best cycle routes traverse various localities but are ideal for cycling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why splash out on one of those? This will do the same job for £84.95... I just made myself roast chicken, brie, stilton, chilli and olives on griddled rosemary foccacia with garlic and herb butter... I'm one generation from t'mill and t'pit tha' knows. I'm going back to my prole roots by swilling it down with a Guinness Original straight from the can. Quitting good food and booze in the shittest month in the shittiest times - those doing this must be masochists. If I've not succumbed by then I'll make April a 30-Day 'Rocky' training montage.
