Re: Stanford students are more likely to wear masks on bicycles than helmets
#2On my recent trip to that area, I saw people all over cycling with masks on.. which seems pretty insane to me for how hot it was there when i visited (90's) and i only saw a small handfull of people with helmets

#3I haven't done this level of research, but in Austin I have observed motorcyclists with mask and no helmet, which is even crazier.

#4This is true near me as well. You can literally identify fascists by their incoherent behavior. They goose step with masks.

#5It’s interesting that the OP didn’t also consider that people wear masks on bikes to block out truck and car fumes and other particles that tend to fly in your face.
I rarely wear a helmet when biking, but there’s a noticeable benefit when I’m biking around traffic and don’t have to breath in car exhaust because I’m wearing a mask.

If it’s not N95 it won’t be blocking out P2.5 particulates emitted from exhausts.

If you're in traffic, the right kind of mask protects you against breathing in pollution, which is an immediate annoyance/harm, vs. helmets and masking to protect against COVID, which are more statistical harms, so it does have some sort of logic.

And if it is, you'll have a much harder time breathing.

#9They don't believe in the science of helmet wearing! /s

#10This has been the best proof that intelligence and common sense don't necessarily go together.
Not to single out Stanford students, there is no common sense to be found anywhere lately.
