Coronavirus lockdown and exercising outdoors

[Jbr]

You do realise that there's an elasticated loop on the tongue of the shoe into which you tuck the lases so that they're out of the way

why are you talking to me like I am retarded ? I said the loops aren't long enough to get in the chain. On the MTB shoes I use that thing to keep the laces out of the way, no need on the road shoes...

[DieselnDust]

well soooooorrrryyyyyyyyy for rubbing your up the wrong way. relax your order is on the way

 

many people who have those shoes don't know what that loop is for. So just pointing it out jirre

Is it still considered taboo to ride without a mask?

 

I'm asking because I rode for more than an hour in a busy section of JHB and I thought I missed a news release about the current restrictions when riding.

[DieselnDust]

Dunno but there's no scientifically proven reason to wear one. It's just because WHO says it might be a good idea

You are required to wear a mask whenever you are in a public space. Nothing has changed.

Are we still talking laces …….?

 

If so, the science says you should have two otherwise your one shoe will fall off.

Regardless of what everyone else is doing, wear one for your safety. 

 

Either there is a possibility of you getting infected and all the consequences that can possibly have for you and your loved ones - wearing a mask might impact the likelihood of getting infected; or, as its advised by the National Communist Control Committee that you wear one, you get pulled over by a copper with Adolf Cele's iron fist up his arse and you get donnered - wearing a mask my impact the likelihood of that happening.

None at all.... or did I miss comic sans?

Ah - the Blocken et al paper again.

https://www.sciencealert.com/here-s-the-expert-advice-on-a-recent-study-on-safe-distances-while-running

 

Is this credible research?

The study, by a team of engineers in Europe, is a pre-print publication, which means it hasn't been peer-reviewed by other scientists and journal editors to check the research methods and findings.

In other words, the quality of the simulation could be anything between flawed and reasonably realistic. Without peer review we cannot know.

The study is also based on a computer simulation, so it's a hypothetical study not involving human participants.

Like any simulation it is based on a long chain of assumptions, such as assumptions relating to specific environmental conditions where jogging takes place. For example, it doesn't take into account any impact from wind.

You must try harder and not post Facebook non peer reviewed technical literature as proof. The modelling they conducted has many many flawed assumptions

of you go to volunteer in the covid wards without a mask then if they not needed...

[Shell Belle]

Mainly because it looks stupid with the loops of shoelace not tucked away... 

[Jbr]

thanks for your opinion, I really needed it to go on with my life

And therein folks.. Lies the problem
