June Bug Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) Wearing a mask telegraphs to others "I take this seriously. Keep your distance and don't f**k with me." That's what I'd like to think. Twenty somethings are oblivious to it all. Edited April 10, 2020 by June Bug 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it becomes the law then I'll comply. Wearing the masks is only a marginal increase in safety. It only works until you wipe your sweaty brow with your unprotected arm after taking off your helmet back at the car. Which then you further contaminate after improperly removing the sweaty mask and the sweat still dripping down your face runs down to the now exposed part of your face. If your mask is contaminated with the virus, then surely the rest of your sweaty self is contaminated too right? I guess we need to just have isopropyl misters that we ride through as we return to the parking lot. At this point, I think everyone out on the trail should take whatever precautions make them feel safer. I will do the same. Maybe I need to go back to night riding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masks DO NOT protect you. They prevent your spit from going places and getting other people sick. If your not wearing a mask it's in your best interest that everyone else is, but that's a jerk move. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamsloan Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I see what you mean. I’ll just make a larger effort to not ride in popular areas or at popular times. Time to break out the lights again.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
