New York City explicitly states that face coverings are not required while walking, running or biking, if you can keep your distance.

Exercise is not a blanket exemption. You have to keep at least six feet away from others. If the others were at least 6 feet away, I wouldn't complain. But they aren't. They are next to me on the sidewalk.

The level of non-compliance has gotten frightening. Combine that with the influx of tourists from hotspots and I see a rise in COVID numbers in about 10-14 days.
