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.

    Downside of covering the mouth with eye protection on is the fogging. Then you’re not able to do a safe job as you simply cant see.

      As a former paintball player, I do know what you’re talking about. There are solutions for this problem, but they’re kind of a nuisance. Your lungs may be worth the nuisance.

        Heh. I have to wear glasses and play woodsball, so I journeyed high and low for a solution.

        I have not found one, even rigged up my own attempts and nothing.
