"I sometimes feel like an astronaut when riding my #bicycle. As a #cyclist with a respiratory disability, I carry an #AirQuality sensor, a heart rate monitor, and a power meter that reports just how much energy my muscles are able to use. Passing through the #PajaroValley, my airways contracted, I felt dizzy, my heart rate dropped, and my body became less able to produce power. My friend Noah, like most people, barely noticed a change. But I quickly placed an N-99 mask over my mouth and nose."—J. Nathan Matias / @natematias
