good evening fine sirs,
on the subject of cycle masks (masks that filter pollution) does anyone actually use one?
are they worth buying?
i often have to ride in heavy traffic, so was considering one, but not having any experience of the things, i was wondering if you could tell me if there worth forking out for.
like a rolling stone

    Not effective and you cant cycle in them properly anyway - too hot and sweaty.

    Tests have shown motorists are more at risk of carbon monoxide inhalation than cyclists, so I would say it's not worth the sweat and impeded breathing.
