PLEASE NOTE the CDC guidelines on Why Outside is a Safer Choice, including about outdoor physical distancing, e.g., “Outside, at least 6 feet apart” and outdoor mask wearing, “If you can’t stay at least 6 feet apart from people who don’t live with you, wear your mask.” https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/outdoor-activities.html

In addition, for FAQS from the California Bicycle Coalition about bicycling safely during the COVID-19 pandemic, go to https://www.calbike.org/covid-19-bicycling/faqs-bicycling-safely-during-covid-19/.
As CalBike reminds there: “Please follow the advice and orders of your local authorities, no matter what this document [CalBike’s web page] might say.”

For example, temporarily, the two signs below were on the City of Monterey section of the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail network (those specific restrictions no longer apply—those photos were shot in 2020).
