What you don't seem to understand
is that smelling a diesel is not equivalent to ingesting a
significant amount of pollution. They are identical only in your
imagination.

One of your biggest logical problems is equating your imagination
with actual fact. You stumble over that time and again.


When you can smell it then it goes into your lungs unless you stop
breathing. Which is hard to do uphill on a bicycle. It's simple.

No, it's simplistic. There is a big difference between "simple" and
"simplistic." Look it up.


It is simple. Fumes (mostly Diesel soot) - air - cyclist - lungs.


What I don't accept are opinions whose source are just a paranoid's
imagination.

Then keep riding on roads. It's your lungs, not mine.

I will keep riding on roads, as I have done for well over 60 years now.
And I hope everyone else also ignores your paranoid "Danger! Danger!" crap.

I know, this doesn't truly exist in your world and will never go into
the lungs with the head stuck in the sand.

Odd arguments from someone who takes pride in burning real wood for his BBQ and who uses a wood stove. I bet you inhale more particulates than I do -- and I ride on the super-dangerous, smoke filled roads in my city hell. https://www.epa.gov/indoor-air-quality-iaq/wood-smoke

BTW, Portland air is better than Folsom air today. https://airnow.gov/index..cfm?action...30& submit=Go

No data for Cameron Park, which is probably way worse based on its over-all super-dangerousness.

And look at the forecast for Folsom . . . trending toward "moderate." "Health Message: Unusually sensitive people should consider reducing prolonged or heavy exertion." Guess those guys in bicycle paradise shouldn't be riding.. For my zipcode: "good." "Health Message: None." I can ride without fear of respiratory disease!
