Hello.

Twice a day I ride bicycle for 2km along a busy city road (2x2 lanes at 50km/h).

From a health standpoint, is it recommended to wear a face mask (N95)? Does it stop exhaust fumes?

Thank you.

    I hate the two-stroke models. Electric aren’t so bad.

      Yeah, I was talking about the former. Electric ones are totally fine.

      But the fromer ones are really super bad. They put out carbon monixide and all kind of dust and shit … micro plastics whatever, fuck you. Point is they are so much worse than you’d think.

      The exhause from those is worse than a diiesel VW with the cheating software disabled.

        Agree 100%. They should be banned…some places have already banned them and it’s a spreading idea.

          If there is one good thing about covid, it’s that I have spare mask lying aroung. I now use a mask whenever I vacuum. There is so much dust you blow in the air. I have two cats. There is cat hair everywhere, the mask can’t hurt.

      I got a dewalt one for pretty cheap since i already had the batteries for it, and i don’t see anything wrong with it. Plenty of power and not a lot of noise.
