Soooo...3rd day of self-quarantine..weather is turning..up to 8C today... Are people doing social distancing while riding? Anyone getting out? Do you worry about being contagious and infecting a responder in the event of an injury?
I'm in Northern California, so I've been riding roads and bike paths. But our city just closed all the parks yesterday and somebody told me this included banning bikes from the bike/walking paths even outside of the parks. This makes no frigging sense. Its hard to ride less than 6' from somebody unless you are trying (and I don't anyway).
I'm so grateful not to be in an apartment right now. We have a half acre (large by CA standards) with 5 very large (40-70') olive trees and a paved circular path. My son's first assignment from the new school (ie, my wife and I) was to calculate how many laps = 1 mile. We are all walking a mile every day. Good to get sun on your skin for Vit D every day too. Did anybody see the guy in France who ran a marathon on his balcony?Good thing you're not in Spain already or you'd be signing up for Zwift like everyone else.

LOL. Are you nuts? I have a 10 year old son and many windows on that side of the house!Them's huge. Can you get to any of the immature fruit, say midsummer? There totally needs to be a slingshot lesson in there somewhere.
Also, seriously, this is just rude under any circumstances (which hopefully means this statement is entirely unnecessary).Having said that, and having ridden through the dregs of many a snot rocket over the years, I'd be at least 30 ft behind anyone else on the road. Maybe more.
