Alright, hands up – who took advantage of the bank holiday and went out on their bike yesterday?
(Don’t worry, I’m not a British Cycling mole…)
Yesterday, you may have noticed road.cc’s rather cheeky tweet that linked to what we claimed was a “comprehensive guide” to the rules and regulations surrounding cycling during the Queen’s state funeral – inspired, of course, by BC’s own faux pas-laden attempt to do the same last week…

While our sneaky tweet highlighted the inability of many social media users to actually read the article they’re criticising – even when it’s only 11 words long – lots of you used it to share your experiences out on the bank holiday roads.
Here’s a selection of your thoughts and photos from your bonus Monday bike rides:
Went out… Bliss…. So peaceful… pic.twitter.com/rAEnVxVeDP

So peaceful cycling today, still lots of motorists out though 🙄😏
Got a sandwich, can make some hot coffee with my stove and got some biscuits 🙂 pic.twitter.com/RtkbaoREAS

During mid ride, I think I found the only coffee shop open in the country 😐 pic.twitter.com/k9wFwvalpt

Took the bike out for a wee spin. Got some ham at the garage. Plenty of people out driving (badly), but much fewer than usual. #Waterworks was lovely. Busy, yet quiet. pic.twitter.com/vAZDJYQlkd

Unfortunately, I drew the short straw and had to man the road.cc news desk yesterday, but did anyone else go for a spin on their bank holiday?
Was it “blissful and peaceful”, or just like any other Monday morning, dodging dangerous drivers on the roads of Britain?
Finally, and be honest, who fell for road.cc’s spot of online tomfoolery? There’s bound to be at least one of you out there somewhere…
