Knew you'd be glad for me, LR sweetie!
Seriously, I followed all the social-distasncing rules, and we are allowed out to exercise, so what's your problem?

I actually think that a bike ride is a very good form of exercise in social distancing terms. Firstly because as long as you are careful when you stop the only thing you are likely to touch is your own bike. But also being on the road and on a bike means that you are likely naturally to keep the 2m distance, rather more than on a run/walk where you end up abnormally having to step out into a road when passing others, and sometimes it is pretty difficult in a narrow space to pass someone and leave a 2m gap.

Exackly - and, of course, you pass people quite quickly.

Depends on how fast you cycle

Well, I ain't no Wiggo, that's for sure, but even I can show most pedestrians a clean pair of wheels!

IDIOT!

Why ?

Why ?

Indeed - as I pointed out I think a decent bike ride is probably the safest form of exercise in terms of protecting the person exercising from likelihood of becoming infected, but also protecting others from any chance of being infected by the cyclist, as cyclists will naturally be keeping two metre distancing anyhow and are unlikely to be touching anything except their own bike.
