The law will require you to wear face coverings on public transport, as of the 15th of June. Will this help push bike sales up even further?
Make your own - they don't need to be of clinical quality - just to capture droplets if you sneeze/cough. You can use a buff or a bandana or whatever as long as mouth and nose coveredWhere is everybody supposed to get these masks from & how are you supposed to know they are of a quality that means they actually work? Also why from the 15th? What's happening between now &then that makes it safe before but not after, do they have a crystal ball?
It seems that they are specifically demanding "face coverings", not "face masks".Where is everybody supposed to get these masks from & how are you supposed to know they are of a quality that means they actually work?

Face coverings are not the same as face masks. It is important that people do not use medical grade PPE masks to ensure these remain available for frontline staff. Last month, the government set out advice for people on how to make their own face coverings easily at home, using scarves or other textile items. These face coverings should cover the mouth and nose while allowing the wearer to breathe comfortably and can be as simple as a scarf or bandana that ties behind the head to give a snug fit.
My daughter & SIL were already cycling to the station, but only about a mile, then tube etc to get into London.
They are both planning on doing the whole journey by bike, about 8 miles each way when they have to go into their office, but I think they will continue working from home for a while.
This is true but very few people will be doing six hour train journeys until hotels etc reopen.Probably, although the sort of 6 hour train journey where a face covering would become intolerable isn't replaceable by a bike journey.
I got a box of 50 from Boots earlier today. They meet the medical standards, so are okay for this sort of thing.Where is everybody supposed to get these masks from & how are you supposed to know they are of a quality that means they actually work?
