COVID Cycling Distancing
So this has been gnawing on me and I like to hear from those who are equally annoyed/affected or think it’s an non-issue.

Out riding solo I often have other cyclists overtake me (yes, I am old and slow) unannounced with way less than 3 feet of space (group ride style) and then look at me and open mouth breath into my face.
I don’t know any of them (those I know do announce), but chances are they are highly educated.
It annoys the hell out of me, from a general safety perspective and now even more because of the virus.
.
Rarely am I able to pull up my mask in time....and any convo is a higher risk, so I suffer silently.

How do others that feel similarly uncomfortable in times of social distancing deal with this?
.
Already avoiding MUTs and highly popular routes, but won’t give up riding outside.

Have actually seen a guy wearing a handmade ‘COVID! 6ft’ pin-on.
Strap pool noodle to saddle?
Cough loudly?
Ride unsteady?
