I count on it. I had been suffering from seasonal allergy-sinus headaches in the spring, and dry-air sinus headaches in the winter. Since my latest cycling revival a few years ago I was able to ditch my steroid nasal spray, and anti-histamine pills. I've never been able to "snot rocket" but I keep a small disposable cotton snot rag within reach on all three bikes. I had to take a year off riding in 2010-2011 and the sinus problems came back within a few weeks. Even the medicines and herbs that are supposed to increase nasal flow didn't work for me like cycling. While preparing for my return to cycling I did 6 months on the tread mill every morning, working up as much of a sweat as on the bike; and while that helped with my sinuses, it still wasn't as good as cycling.
