Default a mask for cyclist!!!?

research have found out that city cycling do more harms than good.
people ride behind trucks and buses breathing in all the exhaust.
Why people never wear a mask when cycling?
Should there be one specially designed for cyclist?
Please give opinions

I think Respro are the most well known brand for the anti-pollution masks.

Got one of those myself.

I am tempted to start wearing it on the bike, as they glow!

It will also hide the abuse I give drivers who look like they want to kill me!
You know the ones, waiting at a stop/ give-way, and decide to creep out in front of the cyclist.

If they are lip readers they will see some colourful words while they do that.

To keep the communication going while I wear the Scream Mask, I will just use hand signals lol.

(Note: conventional traffic hand signals are always used, it is the others I was referring to... In case the road rules police are reading).

During the SARS epidemic those masks would get you to the front of any queue, especially if you coughed heavily.
