With more people escaping self-isolation for a springtime bike ride, infectious disease specialists say cycling may be one of the safer choices for outdoor activities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

of the city’s bike paths for the summer, citing physical distancing measures.

“You can never say anything is 100 or zero per cent. But I think the risk is just so small,” he said. “If you’re using the same equipment, wash your hands afterwards. But apart from that, I can’t think of any high-contact surfaces that are shared. You can easily physically distance yourself from others. And it’s outside. Sounds like a perfect plan.” Part of the safety of cycling is the fact that it is done outdoors, said Sharkawy.

“The risk of sharing coronavirus by biking is probably a fair amount lower than when you’re walking next to someone,” said infectious disease specialist Dr. Abdu Sharkawy. “The airstream is not quite as consistently directed between those people who are biking because you’re moving in slightly different planes.”Sharkawy said that the main concern with using bikes during the COVID-19 pandemic is that avid cyclers may want to exercise in groups.

When it comes to casual, recreational cycling, riding in single file may be less of a concern since keeping six feet apart will be easier, he said.An added risk to using bikes for activity is that exercise increases the rate of heavy breathing, which can increase an infected person’s ability to transmit the virus, said Sharkawy.

I hate to make you sad. There is no pandemic. There is a virus. Wearing a mask doesn't necessarily help. There are more deaths from the seasonal flu. So hell yes go for a bike ride.

If you’re asking that question you should really register for trial vaccinations when available! Wow !

Can you be less relevant? TrudeauWorstPM

Yes

Sure no ones stopping them. Won’t go to jail, no fine. Go ahead but if you get sick...stay home don’t go to hospital because you brought it upon yourself.

No. Quit asking stupid questions.

Jesus Christ if you have to ask them don’t do it. Go hide under a rock.

Yes

OBEY!!!!

Do whatever you want. Trudeau does.....

To many Stupid Questions ... The Pandemic is over ... Go for a bike ride !

If you have to ask like a timid sheep, the answer is NO!

Lol. If you ask CTV for permission you have problems.

Go do whatever you want. Live life and enjoy.

No but you can riot all you want to

I would rather have unprotected sex with someone who has aids than risking my life getting Covid-19.

My English teacher would slap you. You are able to ride a bike. But you need to ask for permission. Wrong: Can I go for a bike ride with my friends during the pandemic? Correct May I go for a bike ride with my friends during the pandemic?

Yes you can. No one needs permission. 🖕🖕🖕
