Come on, own up, who decided it was a great idea to pitch up at Loomies, Box Hill, Matlock, H Cafe or whatever your local bike meet is over the weekend for a good old chat over a cuppa?

Fancy explaining your reasoning for being an absolute cockwomble ?

Selfishness and/or ignorance I suppose. Deliberate contrarianism.

I saw the photos of Matlock (I live local-ish). Absolute stupidity.

I'm not sure it's a good enough reason for our elected representatives to expedite a new piece of legislation through when existing legislation covers it though.

One of the reasons I may ride a motorcycle is to get away from people.

Epping Forest was very busy with bikes, plus the usual quad morons
Lots of cars as well.

Just listened to Boris. How will the cockwombles react?

I went out, didn't stop to chat. Used sena. Always rode. Went home

I need my bike fix but I was very much thinking about everything going on

Shame so many aren't

Cycled past Rikers on Sunday and that looked very busy. Looked like they had closed it to any further people though by the time I went past.

Indeed, I think that's part of the reason that they've locked everything down given how many people were out and about this weekend.

I went green laning - 10 of us, never got close to each other and as usual, no one got hurt.

We did buy some fuel - that was probably the highest risk activity and far less than anyone who went to a supermarket or on public transport.
