Riding 6 feet (2 meters) behind someone is way too close. I try and stay about 50 yards behind someone before I pull out into the road (after checking that it’s clear) and gunning it to pass. If you’re only 6 feet behind then you are breathing in most of that person’s exhalation which means lots of droplets.
Sorry folks but it looks like my note hasn't helped so I'm locking the thread.
If you want to discuss the virus there are threads in News & Current Affairs for that as stated previously. Please do not drag the political stuff into the cycling sections.
