bike out time

[nightrider]

Did i hear that right can we now go for a ride out ..yee ha 

[GLA55Y]

I'm sure I heard the same. From Wednesday you can ride to a place of exercise. With members of your own household. Then sit 2M away from others.

wehey, out we go.

[PRD]

Yep

As long as you stay alert and don't travel to Wales, or Scotland it seems you can go for a ride anywhere you want without the fear of repercussions.




I've never heard such a wishy washy update. 

[PRD]

Yes clearly a very unclear bulletin.

N.I is still in lockdown, so no change here     

I have to say I didn't find the update confusing

Roger, I think it's the words, Stay Alert. It is very vague and difficult to interpret in every day life. I suspect that once again different Police Forces will interpret it in their own unique way, if you are issued with a fine for not staying alert, how do you prove you were staying alert. It's a very subjective application, unlike stay at home, when you are either at home or you're not.

Spose that instead of Stay Alert they could have use, 'use some common sense'

Most  people seem to have found Boris's message yesterday quite confusing. It was certainly contradictory. But with the  nature of the man it's hardly surprising. He tries to be rather Churchilian  but is not in the same league.

I know what you mean Pete, but I do think that he's just like that.   

When I think of others who were trying to become PM then Boris is by far the best option

I emailed Arlene Foster today suggesting that here in NI we need to fast track the electric bicycle legislation. To get people commuting but staying off public transport as far as possible.

Because our politicians took a 3 year holiday from Parliament, e bikes here are still motorcycles needing helmet licence mot insurance registration etc. I copied the email  to my local MLA (=MP).

Mrs Foster didn't reply (quelle surprise) but my local MP replied 10 mins later from her phone to say the legislation is due to go before Parliament tomorrow.

So, hopefully electric bikes legal here at last.

Now I need to push them to extend that to my electric unicycle. Might go out on it post lockdown and argue it's just a one wheeled e bike if pulled.

Bloody Hell that looks like a too risky activity for this old git, especially near water     

[mcfroyce44]

I should have said the video isn't of me. It's of a few blokes in Torquay, one of which I bought the unicycle from.

I have a 15 second video of me riding it taken on my phone but it's an mp4 file 40mb in size and I don't have any way to edit it down to an acceptable file size to upload here.

I like to challenge myself to learn new things. That one was more difficult than I expected.

Do you need to have insurance for the unicycle, I know you do for the segways.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZVs0l1BjTE




I had a go on one in someones house and nearly went through the kitchen window. 

[O.C.]

I thought those Segway thingies had handle bars to cling on to ....to me it looks like an accident looking for somewhere to happen
