  1. Does anyone know of any mask that is sports friendly that filters out
    pollutants? Over twenty years ago, there was a product called Green
    Scene, or something like that, sold to commuter bicyclists. I remember
    reading an evaluation in Bicycling Magazine that indicated that it did
    filter out pollutants from cars and trucks, and also enabled the wearer
    to breath hard.

    Sometimes I will hop around near busy intersections and the lungs are
    going hard. I worry about the chemicals I inhale especially during the
    heavier workouts, albeit short ones.

    Yeah, I know, I could find an area that was not near a busy intersection
    to work out, but sometimes that's not convenient.

    Thanks.

  2. Cool, something I can comment on that I know about. I recently went
    through a search for something only for different reasons. I have
    severe allergy issues, and right now pollen is all over everything here.

    I found a mask called Respro. I ordered it from www.stopallergy.com I
    love it. I was able to ride 23 miles w/o having severe breathing
    problems. It has a Hepa filter, and doesn't seem to restrict my
    breathing at all. I got the black one that has replacable Hepa filters
    and is made of neoprene. I also got the bandana style, but it doesn't
    have replacable filters.

    After riding about 20 miles on the Coker a little girl looks at me as I
    approached and said "Mommy look, that guy is wearing a mask!" Made me
    laugh.😄
