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.

    It would definitely help, but you’ll need the industrial/respirator type that can filter particles small enough in exhaust fumes.

      I wonder if this would be a possible use case for the stupid Dyson headphone filter. It uses positive pressure to provide you with filtered air. However, I’m not certain the filter would be enough to clean exhaust fumes.

      Another issue would be that you probably shouldn’t be wearing headphones while biking, but maybe they have a passthrough mode.
