What does local mean...

By geoff

 Some may be interested in this new post on the British Cycling webpages. In the instructions about cycling it says 'stay local' but they have contacted the Minister for Sport to try to find out what was meant by local and as you can see below sensible common sense choice is the key feature.

 

 What does local mean.......

In his response, the Minister for Sport reiterated the importance of exercise for our physical and mental wellbeing, and stressed that riders should remain as local as possible while exercising and use their common sense to determine what is and is not a reasonable distance - reflecting the fact that each individual will have different personal circumstances.

As a result of this, our recommendation is that you should ride from your front door where possible, ride within your ability and ensure that you are self-sufficient. If you do need to travel for exercise, you should do this as close to home as possible. We all have our part to play in reducing the spread of the virus, and by riding responsibly and taking extra precautions (such as avoiding crowded areas) we’ll be helping to keep ourselves and our communities safe.

We shall see whether there are further changes in the pipeline on Monday!!
