The air quality here is pretty bad when I go along the main roads and I'm thinking about getting a pollution mask. Does anyone here use one? Which one should I get?

The best thing to do is avoid the main roads and go through the back roads. It may be longer but its worth it. The advantage of the bicycle is its agility and this should be utilized to avoid busy traffic as much as possible. I always mapped out my routes via google maps like this. It can get kinda fun to avoid as much traffic as possible, it's like a challenge. My commute became 3 to 4 km longer but its worth it.

I try to do this too but sadly every road that's not a main road is in terrible condition where I live, so I only go through those with my 90s rigid MTB

3m is pretty much your only serious choice. Third-parties using 3m filters are also acceptable. There is one serious drawback: the effective ones do not allow sufficient airflow for physical exertion, meaning you can only wear placebo ones while cycling. There is no solution unfortunately.

The solution would be to wear a mask that linked to an o2 tank on your back. Little hose under yer nose like grandma.

get an albuterol inhaler if you are having problems breathing while on your bike because of pollution and particulate matter triggering excercise induced asthma.

An inhaler is $30. Less if you have insurance.

Here is solution.

Enclosed capsule. Close footholes wit spandex with slits. Use hood with sealing rubber circle. Close when car come by. Open when car far gone. Protect user full against irritant and pollution. Cut through air torpedo.

Whatever you get, be sure it has at least an N95 or higher rating, and is washable/reusable.

Pan y aqua means you are riding 100 percent clean. No PED gear and no TUEs, for example an albuterol inhaler.

No. This is where the toothbrush moustache that Hitler and others wore came from: It's one of the forms of facial hair that can fit under a gas mask. Important for a WWI soldier.
