No increased risk of RTC than normal conditions, fewer cars on the road will probaly reduce the accident rates
Allowing riders back out will prevent them "getting rusty" reducing the risk further
contrary to the first comment , motorcycle riding is in fact a low impact exercise , studies show you can burn 600cal/hr riding a motorcycle.
Most importantly the mental health benefits of riding a motorcycle should be encouraged, especially during these troublesome times

If there is no opening up of outdoor activities then it will send the message that this consultation has been ignored and we are not being treated like adults. Then people will resent the decisions taken and have little respect for the rules if they perceive them to be petty and unnecessary.

1. Healthier, stronger knees and thighs. Orthopaedic surgeons have noted that motorcycle riders have fewer knee problems because riding a bike strengthens key muscles.
2. Improved core strength. All activities involved in steering a bike, moving at low speeds, etc.,serve to strengthen muscles in the abdomen
3. Increased insulin sensitivity. Motorcycle riding is a low-impact exercise, so riders have improved insulin sensitivity for up to eight hours after riding, which in turn promotes weight loss.
4. Mental health and well-being. Riding a motorcycle releases the almighty endorphins that serve to boost mood and improve outlook. Time in the sun also ups your vitamin D exposure, which is a mood enhancer
