I'm pretty sure it's just that they need their mask wherever they're going and it's easier to hop on and hop off with it than stow it away.

  I bike with my mask on for that reason. As a bonus, it also helps with my allergies. (I do wear a helmet -- as much out of fear of getting hit by a bike on campus as by a car off.)

  This is the most likely reason. I've taken to just wearing a mask as soon as I walk out my door, since everywhere I'm going requires one anyway. It's more of a pain to keep taking it off and putting it back on than to just leave it on. I also wear a shirt the whole time I'm out even though it's technically not required while I'm in my car.

  Here in Japan you’ll literally see people alone in their cars with a mask. Maybe half the cars that pass have a masked driver. Obviously it makes no sense, but again if you need a mask where you’re coming from and going to, it just fades into the background.

    Here in the US too... probably not half though.

  Oh sure, look at you, showing up with a reasonable interpretation. Here we had a near-perfect right wing clickbait article, attacking college students, the California left, mask wearers, and cyclists. And you had to come in and ruin it...

  Definitely that and not virtue signaling.

    Yeah, most likely.
