We did as the video clip shows
Great, sorry on re reading my post seemed a bit, abrupt, was just meant to be a suggestion.
I spent part of my ride yesterday practising my track stands up the the hill to the top of Coombe so I could keep about 20m behind the rider I caught near the bottom.
it’s for the police to check our papers and decide if our reason to be out is justified.
We haven’t reached the police asking for “papers please” if enough people ignore the rules then we may have to.
No point in talking to the police. We had one turn up to the neighbours yesterday, all blues and two's so wandered out to see what the fuss was. Turned out it was the drivers nephews 16th birthday and he popped round to say hello. This was followed later in the day by a friend turning up at the other neighbours. Hes a GP who has just come out of lock down because his daughter was symptomatic.
There are some complete morons on this forum. Just out of interest what was your goal for putting up this tread. Shouting at cyclists in the streets and then stalking them online makes you look like a complete nutter.

Indeed, none of them seem to be taking this virus seriously at all.
Oh, that wasn't what you meant, was it?
So in the one hand, it’s terrible that people are flouting the rules. But on the other, we just have to let them do it?
Dob them in to the police if that makes you happy and you think it's justified, but maybe leave the 'naming and shaming' to one side unless you want to live in a society where public shaming is a desirable thing.
It's quite possible to believe that people should stick to lockdown guidelines without embracing public shaming as the mechanism to achieve that. I don't think it's that complicated.
Likewise it's possible to disagree with someone without calling them a 'moron' - we're all in this together, ripping into each other doesn't achieve anything. I love you all 🙂
Landowners are already wetting their pants at the prospect of closing rights of way.
Already happening in my local area - lots of improvised signs and one RoW blocked off with building site fencing.

Any excuse.....
Im the opposite. We have way more people on our land than normal, meandering all over (not on RoW half the time) but as long as they stick on the tracks/wooded areas, and keep their dogs on a lead and on the FPs in the fields then I'm not fussed at all.

From your posts on STW in general I can deduce that you aren't an arsehole though. In terms of landowners I would say that puts you in a minority. For every one of you I reckon there are four or five Farmer Palmer types.
People who live near you are the lucky ones.

Not far off... **** these particular ****s

We're incredibly privileged to be able to carry on cycling when pretty much every other sporting activity has been closed down. Cyclists need to remember that privilege brings responsibility and from what I've seen around the Cheshire lanes 99% of them are acting responsibly.
I've got some doubts about the Cambridge article, anybody can go to work if they're allowed and can't work from home. So if your stopped and your inbetween home and work that's all the evidence most people could possibly show.
I've a feeling someone has the wrong end of the stick somewhere.
Cambs police have the wrong end of the stick/baton... Here they are apologising-ish.

I'd still say it's a bit of a social media Chinese wispers thing. Someone gets pulled over and things develop a life their own. The actual truth gets lost along the way.
