"400,000 people biking across the country" ... and periodically stopping at gas stations, restaurants, hotels... Truly, this is upsetting. Especially when you

  I travel by motorcycle a lot, so I'm familiar with the routine. My level of interaction at home (Berlin) and on the road are not that different. I'm not sure if it would be much worse than staying home. As you say, gas stations (pay at the pump, or go in with a mask), hotels (mask on, often no interaction) and restaurants (yep, that one is bad). The rest would be spent on the bike. On the other hand, unlike at home, I don't meet anyone else, I don't go grocery shopping, and I don't use public transport. Of course I could also indulge in a bit of whataboutism about what the locals are up to, but I don't think it's a compelling argument.
