It’s amazing how divisive this has become. This is the first time in my life I have had so much debate with fellow cyclists. I have just had a run in with someone from my club on the WhatsApp group who described me as selfish and irresponsible and that he’s glad there aren’t more people like me. I actually started by defending someone else who was still going out for the odd ride. Doubt I’ll ride in club colours again.
The thing is, as I said earlier, some have beautiful and expensive turbo setups, that do the job of simulating riding a bike very well... in fact you can also race and do all sorts of virtual social things, with your pseudo-friends.
Others like me don't have that budget and right now don't even have the opportunity to buy a turbo trainer, as there isn't any available, nothing at all. So all we can do is to follow the Government guidelines, which seems a good starting point.
When times are hard, those "who have" should keep their mouth shut, because there are plenty of others "who haven't".
For example, I have the luxury of being able to work from home and earn my full wage, others don't have that luxury, but I don't go around shouting how selfish they are to hit the roads and head to work, because they do what they can, as we all do.
