Hello,
I was wondering if cycling with a mask is dangerous for breathing?
Also is gear 1 intensive on a bike?
Thanks

Hi there,

From what I understand, gear 1 is the lowest gear on a bike, and as you increase the gears, it gets harder to put the pedals, although this does mean you will travel a further distance with less rotations. With regards to your other question, according to https://www.cyclingnews.com, a mask would make it more difficult to breathe through, and the built up moisture would make the journey uncomfortable. They suggest a stretchy neck gaiter to pull over the nose and mouth if in close proximity to someone (based on previous covid procedures).

Hope that helped! Have fun cycling :smile:
