Like you, I was expecting some worry-free cycling on the scenic bike trail close by where I live, but the local poobahs directed the cops to put police line tape across the entrance to all the parking lots and trailheads.
I parked on the side of the road a couple of times being a lowly scofflaw, but was concerned that I might come back to no car or a serious ticket, so I stopped.
It was getting silly — people stopped riding together or even following another rider because that virus might fly off and get ya. I still can’t believe people wore masks while riding!
I was hiking down a mountain trail and a Chinese mom and her three year old boy were coming up. She and her son moved to the canyon side of the trail, right on the edge, and faced away from me! They had a ten million times higher risk of falling into the canyon than catching a virus on a trail in bright sunshine and a breeze by passing a stranger for a tenth of a second.
I studied how people assess risk in a Game Theory class in 1980. I got to see what I studied in real life! People cannot assess relative risks .
