It's already being discouraged that you work, talk to neighbors, visit family. Most people are scared of their own shadows. Society has for years now clamored for total security. Putting yourself willingly into house arrest is pretty much what you wanted and now it's happening.
In Italy and now Spain recreational bike riding has been made illegal. They
are closing the outside, removing the freedom to move around and do what you want unless you're deemed essentially useful, which apparently the majority of time you are not. Even if things like this are temporary, the effect is persistent. Invoke a boogeyman and they can scare the world witless, put the prison into lockdown.

Riding a bike in Spain is forbidden
Before discussing the measures affecting our favourite sport, we would like to emphasise that, for our part at least, this is the least of the consequences of the exceptional situation we are experiencing.
According to the newspaper El País, the decree that will be presented by the President of the Government in the next few minutes indicates that citizens will only be able to circulate on public roads in order to:
- Acquisition of food, pharmaceuticals and basic necessities
- Assistance to health centres
- Travel to the place of work to carry out your professional or business activity
- Return to the place of habitual residence
- Support and care for the elderly, children, dependants, disabled or particularly vulnerable persons
- Attendance at financial institutions
- Due to force majeure or necessity
- Any other activity of a similar nature properly justified
Beyond the legal requirement, the rules that we should apply out of common sense are more important:
- If you go out cycling and have an accident your health care will have a very negative impact on a healthcare system that is on the verge of collapse
- When you train outdoors you have more options to spread the infection or to catch it yourself
As a result of the article we published on the same ban that was imposed in Italy a few days ago, we have received several criticisms that there is no express ban in the Italian decree, just as there surely will be in the Spanish decree. Before these critical voices appear again, we will say that in Italy the reality, contrasted with several cyclists and sportsmen who live there, is that security agents are ordering those who try to go out on a bike or do sport in the street to return to their homes, in some cases with a significant financial penalty.
After all this, we want to appeal to the individual responsibility that has been talked about so much in the last few days and make everyone aware that going out on a bike will not be a good idea in the next few days. Unless it is used as a means of transport.
There is no doubt that training at home, either on a roller or with other types of exercises, will be the best option for keeping in shape, and not losing your head, in the tense days ahead.
