Motorcycling is an essentially socially distant pastime as most of us ride without a pillion as a preference. When we do, it is usually with our partner anyway. We have a face covering by default by virtue of our helmets. We do not come into contact with anyone else whilst riding. We may meet up with other bikers at a point, but the 2 m rule is easily followed. I am told that motorcycling burns up 300 calories an hour so there is a health/exercise benefit.
As the lockdown continues to affect our ability to leave our homes, the absence of our passion in motorcycling is becoming more of an issue. If we were allowed to ride, it would come under a very low risk category unlike cars with multiple occupants. I believe that the stress busting benefit from biking would be a major benefit to the motorcycling community, and prevent the onset of mental health issues. We can handle the lock down better if we could look forward a day out on our bikes at the weekend.
