The more major (as far as that goes in rural Suffolk) roads were most certainly busier today than I've seen them since the lockdown started. However, the supermarket car parks were as empty as is now normal, and the one industrial estate I rode through was as dead as it's been throughout the last 4 weeks. So where did all the traffic come from and where was it going? Most of the vehicles I saw were commercial, from WVM up to the 44-tonners that use our roads as a cut-through to avoid the A14, A12 and A120. There really weren't very many private cars. So I guess a lot of builders, plumbers, electricians etc have decided that earning a living is more important than staying home, and the big distributors feeding Amazon and the like have got themselves organised and are back on-speed. The lanes (my usual haunt) were as quiet as I've become used to, and there were lots of dog-emptiers out, most of whom were decidedly not expecting any kind of wheeled traffic, including bicycles!
