As a followup, I was wondering if you have seen the latest issue of Bicycling Magazine as they have an article in it about the best sunscreens for cyclist. Just wondering if you have tried any of them?

interesting that no one else seems to get a reaction like this. i have sensed that it is something unusual.
I was born and raised here in Florida and have never really used any sun screen until the last year or so when I started riding. I don't know if it has anything to do with my Latin heritage or not, but I also haven't had a sunburn since I was a kid. As I mentioned, I use the Coppertone Sport and that is only when I am doing rides that last over 3 hours and I use it mostly on my legs than on my arms. My doctor highly recommended that I start using sun screen because of my age and the fact that our skin changes as we get older. So, I spray.
