I was descending a hill by my parents (oop north) last year when I saw a cyclist crouched at the side of the road changing a puncture. I slowed down to ask if they were ok and the crouched figure looked up at me revealing that they we wearing a full-face wartime gas mask.
They seemed dressed normally other than that and they were on a pretty standard geared steel road bike. My only thought was that they were attempting some weird training for lung capacity.
why oh why oh why.
