If they’re biking around campus, they also don’t need masks.
- detaro 5y agoBut they probably need to wear it both where they are going and where they come from, so why not keep it on? Whereas they don't need a helmet for anything else in the day.
- ramraj07 5y agoAny good mask will make it very hard to breathe under strenuous activity. N95 masks also get blocked after an amount of air passes through them so they become ineffective. Best not to wear them if you’re gonna be in the wind.
- detaro 5y agoBut we're talking about biking across campus, not biking for sports. So not really "strenuous activity" where you'd notice that. (even just because you don't want to be sweaty at the other end either)
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoUw is a bit different than Stanford in that it is built in a hill. So if your next class is on upper campus, you might not have any choice but to sweat.
- ramraj07 5y agoI wear N95s in india every day and even the slight breeze can definitely start blocking the mask faster. Also even slightly increased breathing starts producing more aerosols and that starts blocking the masks as well. Unless of course even while cycling your heart is at resting rate, then kudos to your health.
