Valid point. The reason is that I've read several articles stating that the added exertion of cycling means that you're pulling the air in far deeper into your respiratory system than if you're walking or sitting in a vehicle

Agreed. London is definitely going to keep getting worse before it gets better - I just want something solid that can get rid of at least some of this shit

Thanks. My route is as away from main roads as it can but obviously there's still moments of considerable exposure so a mask that will take out the 'big stuff' is still of interest.
One brand I've seen trying tackle the 'fit' issue is WAIR from France - they have a rubber edged mask under a scarf which evidently moulds to the user's face. May give that a go

Thanks @mdcc_tester. Appreciate your insight

Thanks @Double_J. I've seen their ads loads recently. Which version do you have? The city one looks decent...

With the general hype in the media around toxic air, not to mention the lung-full I get whenever sat at the lights on my commute through London I'm exploring some of the options.

Can anyone share any preferences of which I should go for? Previous experiences with them? General positives / negatives associated?

Ta,

Thanks @Scrabble. I'd worded the questions with the whole questionnaire being geared around urban / city cycling but I take your point that they could possibly be phrased differently.

Thanks @pizzarat

It's a fair point which is why I have a separate questionnaire focused at non-cyclists. Just trying to get insight from both sides in order to build a full picture

Thanks! @Double_J

Hi all,

I'm conducting some research for a university project on the various aspects of using a bike in or near dense urban areas. This could be occasional use, daily commuters, weekend lycra societies, Boris/O-Bikers - the lot!

I've put together a (really) short questionnaire on the link below so if you could take a look it would be HUGELY appreciated.

It honestly takes less than 5 minutes to complete and the resulting project is entirely focused around making cycling in the city safer with a view to getting more people on two wheels. So hopefully everyone on here would benefit 1

THANKS!!!

Jack
