^^ won’t link to it but check out pictures on the sun website of people exercising in London parks today. It is utterly irresponsible and selfish at this point.

Unpopular opinion incoming but people need to get a grip and stop obsessing about exercise. If you want to do something beneficial for your body as well as the nhs, stay home and eat less! Impossible to outrun or outcycle a bad diet, plus the risk from injuries.

Depending on how much money you get together, maybe ask people what they need? Veggies seem to be available everywhere as opposed to other essentials like toilet paper, pasta, eggs etc. Aware that that adds to the complexity of the task!
Great work regardless!

I feel idiotic and naive but I felt like starting a petition to get the Government to sign up to the EU joint Procurement of protective kit and ventilators. I think it needs a couple of signature to be made public.
Thanks! -
A death cult, and that’s not even hyperbole
-
UK not participating in the EU procurement scheme for medical equipment is absolutely infuriating. So reckless and so transparently ideological! How can they justify that?

Sounds like a rom com from hell scenario

Just been out to the park for my rope skipping workout (great way to keep people at a distance) and the only cyclist I saw flew over his handelbars when he hit the kerb when exiting a totally empty roundabout. Luckily he was ok, and able to walk the bike home. Totally surreal scene.

Maybe not gravitas but my female colleagues assure me he has a silver fox thing going for him

I wondered about that. Fully admit not knowing enough about the issue to make an informed comment, so I thought I fit right in here

For a starter increase train frequency and give essential workers a fighting chance to adhere to social distancing guidelines. Screen who enters the tube if it needs be, or organise unused school buses for nhs staff. Suspend parking restrictions around hospitals for ja staff. There is a million things they could do, but I like your suggestion too
-
To be fair, Sadiq Khan not doing much in this crisis so far at all, and I usually really like him. Just smooth talking and projecting gravitas not enough when there is a freaking epidemic in your city. So much could be done to get nhs workers safely to work without having to go on packed trains for example.

What do people think about sports direct‘s refusal to close? Surely people could just order sport equipment online instead of putting both staff and customers at risk? Not that sports direct cares about its employees in normal times...
It really shouldn’t be up to businesses themselves to decide if they are essential or not.

I think risk from infection through surfaces is lower, especially if you disinfect before shipping, but maybe ask him to wipe it down with rubbing alcohol (if the item allows for it) as well.

Can relate. She told me not to be so anal about it...

Italian mayors urging people to stay in in sweary language. If this doesn’t do the trick, then what?

Has anyone experience with a home rowing machine? The only nice looking one seems to be the water rower of house of cards fame but they retail from £1000 upwards. Would love something that doesn’t look to out of place in the living room
-
Haha, would be interesting to see if all the faux-minimalists stick to their principles. I am seriously impressed that everyone has that much space at home to store stuff
-
I wonder if people actually eat any of the food they have been buying or just add to their stockpile. I have increased my shopping volume to minimise the number of times I have to go out, as my wife is pregnant and we are self-isolating as much as possible. What I thought was a massive amount of food is actually not that much if it’s supposed to last a week or week and a half.

Is there a forum approved 23c tyre for riding during the zombie apocalypse? Gators or marathons, or anything else I should be aware of?

Sign of seriously weird times when you find yourself agreeing with Piers Morgan

London Fixed Gear and Single-Speed is a community of fixed gear and single-speed cyclists.
I have none, and I am aware that ideally people would do both exercise and eat well. Public discussion so far has however totally disregarded one at the expense of the other.
