"Yesterday afternoon, I rode with my wife and 6yo son from Fullerton down to North Avenue. We passed a few "LFT ambassadors" but they're doing little to ensure distancing or enforce the mask wearing. They seem to be most focused on…"

"I have been riding mostly where the cyclists and runners are separated, so I don't know how the runners are behaving.  Few of the cyclists had masks, but I didn't see any groups.  Everybody was separated pretty well."
