Even I, who dislike sunscreen, will on occasion wear sunscreen when I ride.
Most sunscreens are greasy, sticky, horrible messes to which every particle of dirt or passing insect sticks, and which leaves me feeling like I've been caked in a combination of vaseline and dirt ...... but living here in Australia it is recommended that we wear sunscreen (Slip, Slop, Slap ... "Slop" aptly describing the way most sunscreens go on).
So I searched for one that would not be as icky as most are, and I found a Neutrogena product that is actually pretty good. I put it on, and my skin feels delightfully dry immediately after ... and even little dabs are protecting me from sunburn. Since I have been using it, I have not gotten a sunburn, and I've been out in the sun for extended periods of time. There are actually some decent products out there!!
