I’ve been wearing disposable surgical masks on my rides to and from work. The wire band at the top conforms to my nose well enough to prevent fogging and they are easy to pull down on open stretches where there are no other people. Not the most sustainable option, but they work better for riding than anything else I’ve tried. I really don’t think anyone is likely to spread or get COVID-19 from a passing encounter with a cyclist, but I ride in NYC where there isn’t a lot of space, and arrivals at my school are quite crowded due to complicated entry protocols, so I don’t want to roll up without a mask on.
