...the only real alternative is to go by bicycle. Unfortunately some people working at that customer have no alternative for public transport because compared to me they live even further away.

Is it an option to throw a bike in the back of the car, and park a 'bicycleable' distance away?

Yes and no. It still means cycling 5km to 10km from a free parking zone into the business park. Likely more people will have this idea and consume the available parking space quickly. But still people will need to own a car and some don't (some can't even park a car where they live).

5-10km is really not that bad?  Several people in my family think nothing of cycling 50Km - 100Km a day! :D   Personally, I'd reach for a motorcycle, e-bike, or moped long before those kinds of numbers came on my bicycling radar...

I suppose this makes sense: we were told to stay in, because there's a dangerous virus circulating and now we're supposed to go out, even though the virus is still out there. I just cling on to the hope the contact tracing will work and I know the NHS will be able to cope.

Is anyone else finding it hard to return to work?

I'm planning to work from home indefinitely, especially now since there are riots going on all over, those worry me a lot more than Covid ever did and I suspect will directly result in a lot of new infections. Otherwise no, I haven't really been worried at all, the uncertainty and economic impacts are a big concern but staying home all the time just kind of feels normal to me now and I've saved a ton of money between transportation and not eating out. I haven't put gas in my car in months and I haven't eaten from a restaurant since mid March. I actually looked at my bank account last night and thought "wow, where did all this money come from?" Even being fiscally conservative in general I hadn't realized how much I was spending on lunch and commuting.

We are driving so little now,  that I have had to dig out the battery charger to deal with the fact that the batteries slowly run down from just sitting there!
