The discussion actually brings up another question I had and meant to ask. Have you noticed that now that you ride you get sick less? I have always heard that exercise will help your immune system. I was curious if you have experienced such a thing.
Works for me. I used to have a lot of allergy issues. Would start sniffling at night, and have a runny or completely blocked nose by 2 am (varied, not sure why). Since I started cycling, I have had fewer and fewer such attacks. My wife observed early on that the days I didn't cycle, I had allergy trouble. It's improved nowadays, so even if I don't cycle I don't get hit immediately - hope that continues!
