I’m continuing to mask in public because:
- I don’t want COVID
- I don’t want to give COVID
- I may or may not be wearing crest white strips
- I might have snacks in here
- Its warm
- It annoys some folk and I’m contrarian by nature

Dear Drivers: cyclists know that when you stop to wave us thru, when we don’t have the right of way, you’re trying to be kind. What you don’t know is you’re putting us at huge risk.

The reason those are acceptable is because they’re distinct ethnocultural groups. If this was a British, or German, or Irish group, there would be absolutely no problem. That’s very clearly not what this is.
