> creating a cloud for 30 minutes

I bike to work. During the local dry season (roughly April to November) I need to keep an ear out for leaf blowers on the way to work and adjust my route accordingly. Otherwise riding through one of their dust clouds is like dredging a chicken breast through flour.

A few times I had to interrupt my ride and return home for a second shower because of leaf blower dust storms. Luckly they have been banned in my town (together with anything with a 2 stroke engine). And hey, no leaf-apocalypse has happened after the ban.

Really? Where is this paradise you speak of?

Maybe there's hope for my area. They really are the most pointless and annoying things.
