I regret to say that unfortunately someone wearing a Saracen jersey has caught the eye of a local today because they were riding in a group of three during the current lockdown.
This in turn has generated a number of negative comments on Facebook.
I can’t stress enough how important it is to only ride solo or with members of your household. Riding with neighbours, friends and club mates is not in keeping with the governments guidelines.
Riding as a group, even if you think you are observing the 2m distance, is unfortunately only going to look bad.
Both Conservatives and Labour leaders support a complete ban on outdoor exercise if the current movement restrictions are not adhered to.
Here is the original post from Spotted Bromsgrove on Facebook:
“Hi , I'm a cyclist and swimmer and have been for many years, I'm rather dismayed to see Bromsgrove people flaunting the new rules on exercise, it's not clever cycling 3 abreast down coalash lane and wearing a saracens cc shirt one of you. Especially when people are walking, also seen to other groups of 3 , trust me they were not family members I been cycling long enough to recognize this . PLEASE go out on your own or with a family member not meet up with your mates on copyholt lane, Please ride in single file when you see people walking STOP being so arrogant knob heads.”
