As for my allergies I find that after the first 5 miles of riding (usually with nose drip, congestion, or sneezing) that I am able to breath much easier thru my nose and have less instances of pollen allergies after riding.
Wish I could convince my wife of this. Her asthma and allergies are her reason to not try to ride more. I figure anything that builds lung capacity is going to improve the situation.
