It's Easter weekend. The weather is expected to be a bit better than we've had through winter, and lots of people have holidays. So, is this a nice time to go cycling ?
Unfortunately not in the Netherlands.
Over the Easter weekend this country is held ransom by religious (and non-religious) lunatics who light absolutely enormous fires made up of assorted rubbish and these cause ridiculous levels of air pollution, especially of particulates, which blanket the entire country. The Germans also do this, so an easterly wind (which is predicted) doesn't blow the smoke away but just brings extra smoke from Germany.
As a result of this you basically don't want to breath outside on the Easter weekend, let alone do any exercise which would make you breath deeper.
There are fires planned for this evening, tomorrow evening and Monday evening. So there's no quick escape.
The selfish people make Easter in the Netherlands almost as much "fun" as New Year's Eve !
Completely unrelated story: There's also currently a well publicized national shortage of asthma medication, as if that's of any importance at all to the selfish smoke enthusiasts.

And I'm not cycling today either. I live in the grey circle where air quality is already dangerous and the wind is from SSE where stretching for more than a hundred km is even worse. All that bad air has to pass us before this will get better.
Creating lots of dangerous air pollution which ruins other people's Easter holiday, and doing that *on purpose* to celebrate the exact same holiday, is a remarkably antisocial hobby.

Easter bonfire in The Netherlands, great fun, but probably one of those traditions that won't survive: #easter #easterfire #paasvuur #paasvuren #heino #raalte #overijssel

I'm not cycling today. Here in the rural Netherlands, thanks to the idiots who lit Easter fires last night, we have worse air quality today than Los Angeles. There's visible smog in the air. I.e. This is unsuitable air for healthy exercise unless you like the idea of an increased chance of many illnesses.
It's a very sad thing that we have several of these air pollution "holidays" each year (new years eve fireworks being one of the other big problems), and that people hang on to all of them as "tradition". Some people will be setting fire to stuff this evening instead. I'm hoping that there won't be such bad air tomorrow
