I don't spray when it's windy but this always seem to mean I am spraying on a summers evening, usually a Sunday when folk are in the garden. The spray won't go on them but I am very conscious of the noise.
very still hot conditions are the worst, spray evaporates, hangs around in the atmosphere then comes down with the dew.

One person infected on that flight and you’ll soon have two or three hundred more, and so it begins again
cant see much air-travel allowed for at least 12 months , even then, maybe only people tested with the antibodies to covid19 , would you want that on holiday ? let alone get insurance , holiday and travel stocks and shares are toast for a decade

If it is that hot I spray after dark when it is cooling down. Only one or two neighbours and prevailing wind takes it away from them. They have kids so I am more conscious of the noise. Never have had any complaints or even comments.
I do my best, I certainly do not "push on"

I can't see that cycling is a useful hobby- what with the risk of death from traffic and inhaling traffic soot 24/7 but go you ahead. Get a rowing machine or cross-trainer and work indoors, any time of day, no need for spandex pants and no holding up the traffic.
Get a pelican con thingy, don't have to get miles from home need a sh1te in someone's gateway or be knackered

I was/am a runner. Far more natural range of movements and good for your core muscles and I can go off-road, climb stiles or cross a stream all without chancing anything in traffic. And still, no spandex.

Why the heck you would want to sit on one of those saddle things I have no idea. Sooner ride a horse if it was me.

Good, has long been my view that the only people in the air should be the military and emergency services. It would be sick to talk about fringe benefits whilst people are dying, but it has to be acknowledged that all of this will lead to a re-booting and not all of it will be bad.

Cyclyng is good for the mind as well as body. I used to religiously go to the Gym 3 times a week . How boring running on a rubber belt for an hour looking at my ugly mush in the mirror, with a beat box blaring in your ears, one morning i thought sod it drove straight past the gym to the bike shop and never been back

Have a chat with someone working in an ICU at the minute, and then see if you fancy doing a couple hundred k on the the bike. Act your age, don't be a selfish **** and stay the **** at home.
