Wearing masks for bikers: motorcycle advocates are suffocating !

The defenders and promoters of motorized two-wheelers in France (FFM, FFMC, CSIAM, CNPA, Codever) are standing up against the mandatory anti-covid19 mask among bikers and scooter riders in the Ile-de-France region. But to remove this mask, it would be necessary to blow up blinders and earplugs … Explanations.

Since Friday, August 28, wearing a protective mask is compulsory for all users of motorized two-wheelers in the capital and its inner suburbs. But the FFM, the FFMC, the CSIAM, the Codever and the CNPA strongly denounce this decision taken by the Paris police headquarters, "in the absence of any consultation", they underline in passing..

The sports federation, that of bikers "who do not get angry but explain themselves!", The union chamber of manufacturers and importers, the national council of dealers, garages, workshops, motorcycle schools, and the collective for the defense of leisure Green consider this measure "just as aberrant as it is dangerous"…

"If the fight against the Covid-19 epidemic requires the taking of health measures", readily acknowledge the associations and representatives of 2RM, "it is still necessary that these be adapted and proportional to the objective pursued". Which is not the case ?

"In this case, the imposition of the wearing of a mask on the motorcyclist is clearly incompatible with that of a motorcycle helmet, a helmet equipped with a protective visor which is covered with mist when it is in the closed position ", they say, supporting evidence (see the video below).

Only users of jet or modular helmets could put up with wearing a mask, except for those who wear glasses … Bikers and scooter riders who ride in full face helmets – the best in the event of a fall even at low speed -, on the other hand , will certainly struggle if they want to respect this new obigation…

Without mentioning the questionable utility, MNC observes that it is extremely tedious to keep your mask on when putting on your full face! We lose our mask, time and our composure, we tear our ears, fingers and hair, we sweat a Well dirty blow and we quickly run out of air … In short, we envy the cousins ​​on bikes who pedal with their noses in the wind !

"Like cyclists, we therefore ask that this decree does not concern users of motorized two-wheelers who, respectful of the physical distance to be observed in transport, participate in the flow of traffic and the reduction of congestion in public transport ", concludes the collective.

Irrefutable, will these three arguments lead to the modification of the decree? For that, the public authorities would have to remove the blinders and earplugs which have prevented them, for many years, from perceiving the advantages and hearing the arguments in favor of motorized two-wheelers in the city … Hm, hm.
