I'd avoid cycling. NHS is rammed. Minimising risk is probably a good idea at the moment.

Trouble is, just sitting around the house isn't good for mental or physical health in the longer term - and all signs are that we are in this for the longer term. Astronauts train for this sort of thing... the rest of us, don't.

I think it's important to think about what things we CAN do, now that virtually all normal activities are suspended. I normally work from home on my own anyway, so social activities are really important for my mental well-being, and I don't mind admitting I'm already finding it tough.
bd139:
Yes agreed. Go for a walk instead :)

Yes, I'm used to cycling around 14 miles a day, both to and from work and I normally go out at lunchtime.  It's raining a bit now. I'll mow the lawn later and probably will go for a cycle ride at some point. The risk will be lower, than my usual commute to work, as it won't be rush hour and I probably won't do as many miles today as normal.

Apparently not a good idea either - explicitly a 'not to do' activity on the NHS site. Presumably it's the half-life in aerosol form that's the issue there, and it can be blown hither and yon outside.
