I'm not cycling today. Here in the rural Netherlands, thanks to the idiots who lit Easter fires last night, we have worse air quality today than Los Angeles. There's visible smog in the air. I.e. This is unsuitable air for healthy exercise unless you like the idea of an increased chance of many illnesses.
It's a very sad thing that we have several of these air pollution "holidays" each year (new years eve fireworks being one of the other big problems), and that people hang on to all of them as "tradition". Some people will be setting fire to stuff this evening instead. I'm hoping that there won't be such bad air tomorrow
