"Why in times of COVID-19 you should not walk/run/bike close to each other."

[orleans]

Belgian-Dutch Study:

"On the basis of these results the scientist advises that for walking the distance of people moving in the same direction in 1 line should be at least 4–5 meter, for running and slow biking it should be 10 meters and for hard biking at least 20 meters. Also, when passing someone it is advised to already be in different lane at a considerable distance e.g. 20 meters for biking."

i see the link is a bit useless but if you copy the headline into google it will take you to the article

don't know if this got posted yet. it's the first time i've seen this but have encountered/passed too close to people on bikes and have wondered about this.

1. Some asshat decided to start her jogging just behind me today, and I began to wonder about folks who

are out there jogging.. they breathe through their mouths, etc... I will try to stay away from joggers from now on. Cross the street if I have to.

2. Some bikers here pass walkers from behind with no warning less than a yard away.

We have changed our walking habits as a result and only go where bikers aren't or we can see them from far away and have room to get out of their way. All because of a minority group of assholes.

We aren't biking because we're old, a fall and a visit to an ER could be a death sentence. There is nowhere to launch our kayak without wading across a mud flat. Everything is closed.

3. People get too close - won't keep to their side of the road.

Guess I'll be stuck running on the damn treadmill for the foreseeable future.
