Coronavirus effect on bike hobby?

[Bikerider007]

Went to the park this weekend to walk (or hobble due to my bike injury) and it was overloaded. I have been riding our MUP solo and in groups since it began tying in over 10 years ago, and never saw so many people on bikes and walking. The bridge had over 30 standing there enjoying the view. I beleive it will get more people out in the future, but not so sure everyone on top of each other at this time is good.

I tried to find the article, but at least one state deemed bicycle shops a necessity to stay open.

Guys, there are already armed gangs driving to nice areas for breakins, in some parts of the country.
Everybody be on watch and stay safe!

Photos and news service links please! What is a "nice area"?

My chances of surviving this bug are very slim. Though I'll only be 58 soon, and not REALLY that old, I'm a transplant recipient and have been on immunosuppressants for 22 years. I'm currently not buying anything new as I don't want my wife to have to deal with it later. Sucks!

I am 58 and a heart disease victim also , I'm concerned , but still looking for parts to finish what bike projects I have . I told my son I wouldn't leave him much , but the barn will be full of classic bicycles to deal with .

The Denver Old Bikes Club has postponed the Spring Swap for the time being. Hoping to have it before the Summer Swap!

In all honesty @SirMike1983 the same is happening over here.
I've never seen so many families out riding as I saw yesterday afternoon, especially considering the time of year.
All campsites and caravan parks have been ordered to close in Wales today as the country was swamped yesterday by people getting away from towns and cities in England.
Keep riding as long as you're allowed I say, as long as you maintain a safe distance from everyone else that is.
But as I said before, in many countries this is now forbidden.
Stay safe.

For when you finally use that last piece of toilet paper - a DIY backyard bidet

I sincerely hope that no lawn furniture was harmed in the making of this bidet.

Well, it hit semi close to home. One of my close riding buddies mom passed away yesterday, she is not in same state as us but went in her sleep due to complications. A hazmat team had to pick her up.

He's not sure about funeral or flying out yet as they believe some of the other family is infected as well. Complicated....

Yup. Bug is closin in. Co-worker positive.
Still, lookin forward to the day when I can buy a "I survived covid 19" T shirt.

Our group of monthly riders disbanded over a year ago. Coincidence? I think not.
