Agreed.
A couple months ago I was bombing down my favorite 9% downhill at 40+ mph, and heard/felt what sounded like a rock hit my left lens.
At the same time everything went blurry in my left eye.
When I reached the bottom I took off the glasses and saw that the entire lens was covered with mostly-transparent bug guts.
I don't know what it was, but it must have been *big*.
Thank goodness for glasses!
