Anyone else loving riding around atm? I'd say there's about 1/8th of the usual traffic, rush hour is non-existant, air quality noticibly better, streets much quitier and honestly, people seem to say hello to me or other cyclists let on, I'm sure that never used to happen. City seems infinitely nicer without being choked with cars. Anyone else feel the same?

Golf course but no skidding on the greens, we used to play on the course in the dark as youngsters

Went out for a ride the other day. Lack of traffic was good, but the condition of the roads not so much after all the rain and flooding of recent months.

1/8th? Its empty here. Think I saw more people getting their exercise than cars!

Begs the question, where were all those cars going before?

It's easy to forget how awful all of this is for everyone when the world is just so lovely without the swarms of people everywhere recently, and the relentless pace and suffocating busyness of normality.

Don't worry workplace corporate suppression (seems to produce arsey borderline autistic weirdos) and drudgery will bounce back ten fold!

It's great!
Finally got round to fitting a rack and panniers I'd had sitting there for my wee town bike.

Delivering shopping to a pal:

@kayak - yes definitely. Once all the traffic and corporate suppression fires back up, I'm not sure if the normality of it will seem reassuring or even more horrendous. maybe somewhere in-between!
