Lighten up and just worry about yourself. Jeez, some people around here are such prudes!
Let's focus on welcoming our new commuters and not scaring them away with nasty messages! Like I said, i know lots of people do it... i just think it's nasty. I exercise control over my bodily fluids. I also don't open my car door to dump this morning's leftover coffee or cigarette ashes. I have more respect for public property and a bit more couth than that. Then again, I don't have an excess of fluids either so maybe I should have more sympathy for those that have bodies that leak uncontrollably. My bad. :p |

Man you must be *really* mad when a pigeon poops on a park bench.
Nah, I guess I don't care either way, it will get washed away eventually or dry up. When we skate in town we always have to deal with bird crap on various obstacles. I always blow my nose once I arrive at work in the morning and when I get home. |

LOL, if that scares them away they don't belong on the world wide interweb.

That and living in Houston I seriously doubt you have the opportunity to ride at seriously cold temps. Noses run like rivers when it is cold out. |
Yeah, the temps only get down to around 30 here.
I did grow up in upstate ny though. But houston is one of the worse cities for allergies. The running joke is that if you move here and don't have allergies.... you soon will! |

I commute 23 miles round trip daily using platform pedals. I know some people like pedal clips or clipless, but I find them too much of a hassle to get in and out of.

That is so disgusting. Suck it in or wipe it on your sock mitten. Why should i have to ride by and look at your snot rocket on the ground?
IMHO, that's no different than taking a leak on the side of the road. I know tons of people do it, but it's just repulsive and disrespectful to others. Now I have to change my stance on the matter from "didn't know" to "don't care." |

How can you survive in a world of sniveling dogs and other uncouth creatures? It isn't like he took a dump by the raod side. A little mucus, come on.... |
Never really had any issues with bodily fluids, mine or others. And after having little kids, you pretty much get them all, often on the same day. So it's no big deal. But perhaps I'm not as sensitive as others.
|
I have a terrible stomach and.... well... lets leave it up to your imagination. Nothing grosses me out with bodily fluids.
Especially after raising my son. Oh wait.... When my knee was torn open I refused to look at it even though I couldn't feel it. The oozing and what not was enough for me. |

There's about a 100 million little creatures living off of your body, right now. Microscopic mites pinching their tiny mandibles together, munching on your sloughing skin cells; minuscule wormlike creatures slithering thru your eyelashes, lapping up your eye boogers; and then, of course, there's the wild menagerie of single celled cooties collecting their wages by hanging out in your slimy insides. Take a chill. It's only snot. :) |
I try to save my snot rockets for cars that pass too close. I like my strapless $4 REI MtB toeclips. good enough to hold my feet in but easy in/out.
