Most of us are
Staying at home
Is that not what the government are telling us all.
In the evenings I can hear traffic speed
During the day also speeding
They may have been travelling to work in a key role
I go out on my bike most days, mainly for exercise with a face mask on because of the air pollution, and to get a bit of vitamin D! Cycling is permitted, but not in a group, because its impossible to get close to a pedestrian, unless they stupidly walk out in front of you, without looking first which often happens!
