I don’t think most non-rationalists understand that sealing is hard. I would expect that kind of person who bikes with a mask and no helmet to wear being pro-science to wear the “most scientific” mask. Culturally, that kind of behavior is hard for me to understand.
As far as rationalist circles go, there was mask innovation in the last year. https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B00VAT74NG/?pldnSite=1 feels more comfortable to me then the FFP2 (N95 equivalent) I wore before and provides FFP3 (N99 equivalent) of protection. It’s also designed to actually fit tightly.
I’ve researched FFP2 masks before the pandemic for working in a dusty environment and the 3M design linked above fits better than anything else I found on the market.

BTW that foldable design makes the respirator fit in a pocket, which can be a big plus.
