I used to bike to school every day, but since school has been closed we have been biking as part of our daily exercise. It feels great to get out there.

My new normal has involved cycling every day. I had fallen out of the habit, with a new job which didn't really have a commute or make use of a bicycle during the day, except rare occasions. So faced with no commute at all I decided to get up, get out and ride before work. 332 miles in April, 458 miles in May, Just 1 hour a day and heading home 30 minutes into a ride. I am wearing out all the lanes around home. That is my new normal.

Hi both, thank you so much for sharing your stories of cycling in the 'new normal'. As it happens, Love to Ride Derby is collaborating with local filmmaker Hardy Saleh to create a short film called 'The New Normal' to capture people's experience of cycling during lockdown. We're looking for self-shot videos about your cycling story. The deadline is next Monday, 8th June. You can find out more via the website and feel free to get in touch if you have any questions: [address removed]

Lucy Giuliano The address has been removed but if you go to hdsfilms.com/cycling that should work.

I'm with Matthew Hodder here, I've done so much more riding since lock down started. Finishing work earlier at home means far easier to get changed and get out round the lanes. Great opportunity to find new routes and loops. Done 638 miles since end of March. Have only been out once this week though due to wet weather and incredibly pot holey lanes!
