I mentioned in an earlier thread about the cyclists spitting from the bike. Got many replies apparently from people who spit. I'd rather be hit by a bike than have someone's spit blown on my face.
Well I don't normally spit, period. But I have a stinking cold right now and refuse to swallow the gunge. That I will normally stop and drop. If that is impossible and I have to eject spittle while riding, I always make sure no-one is going to get covered. And I fully agree that I too would rather be hit by a bike.
