With the general media hype around toxic air, not to mention the lung-full I get sat at the lights on my commute through London I’m exploring which option to go for.
Can anyone share any preferences? Previous experiences with them? General positives / negatives?
Ta,

Just make sure you don’t wear it anywhere near a school!
That policeman should be ashamed of himself for that.
Unfortunately, I read some of the comments, so I’m just going to bleach my eyes.
What was the cyclist actually wearing, in that story? Was it a pollution filter mask or a balaclava? No story seems to discuss that, just that he was ‘wearing a mask’…
If it is ineffective in filtering out what you want to filter out, the only thing it is achieving is to make cycling less attractive and more uncomfortable, and make cycling appear more risky than it is. All these things are likely to combine to make you and others less likely to cycle ….Hey, wow, you mean like wearing a helmet?
(ducks for cover…)(Sorry, people, just couldn’t resist it: please don’t pick this up and run with it).
I absolutely agree with you, hence I’m opposed to mandatory helmet wear.
Oh Damn
Wasn’t supposed to run with it
Soz
My bad
ooops

I’d assumed that it was a pollution mask, but it’s irrelevant anyway unless the cop was from the fashion police (he didn’t look to be that fabulous, though).
If kids are scared of a bloke on a bike wearing a facemask, then they should be taught why someone may want to wear a mask (e.g. it’s cold; there’s too much pollution) and to not be afraid.
What would happen if someone with facial disfigurations (e.g. burns) was waiting to pick up their kid? Would they get banned for scaring the children too?
