What I like about riding a bike is it can bring me to other places. Now, I cannot do this because of this coronavirus. I had seen some people ride their bikes lately. I do not want to run the risk of doing it.
Do you want to run the risk of riding a bike?

@Shavkat no, seriously, what's going to happen if you go out riding a bike with mask on?

Can you believe that it is very difficult to find bikes here? We went bike shopping the other weekend . . . the bike shops don't have a lot in stock - and apparently it is that way everywhere. Anyway, I do think with masks and being mindful to stay away from big crowded areas, it should be relatively ok.

@Shavkat The bikes had been selling out quickly here . . . so much that the suppliers cannot keep up . . . I am told all the stores are only getting a few new ones per week. Hope you have better luck than us! Being outside, getting exercise and sun is good . . . plus it helps your soul. Yah, just stay away from people!

You have a point. I haven't checked some shops that sell bikes here. I assumed there are some stocks because the local shops were closed for a long time here in my city.
If I will just go to a place with a face mask where it is a little far from the city, it would be safer.

I stopped riding a bike a long time ago. I have a bicycle stepper that I put underneath my computer table and have fun riding that. That means I am inside safe and sound and do not have to be on the road with those that do not wear masks or even bicycle distance.

Driving a bike with a mask is really tough and unhealthy

it's still okay riding bike, but still need to do the health protocol. make distance if there is another cyclist in front of you

I don't even own a bike. Haven't been on one in years. We live in a rural area and need to use the car to get where we are going.

That's not how the virus works. It's good to go outside! As long as you're not 'within 6 feet' of anyone else (like I'm sure they were at those 'coronavirus-parties' in America), you're fine.

I saw some bikers every morning here. Then again, we don't have any active cases here.

@jrlcentral This is also my concern to breathe freely. It is really hard to breathe using it.

@Shavkat maybe you can ride your bike where there is less traffic. Maybe you can use a slightly loose mask so you can breath easily and wear a face shield for extra protection.
