As a newly cleated cyclists I use it as a reason to practice my emergency stops. Otherwise, after checking behind me, I let it fly.

I never try to launch rockets myself. I'm a total hanky-honker. Anything I launch out of my nose, only ends up in my mustache and beard...

I enjoy the same relief. Pity the people riding behind me.

I find that the 80's are a little too warm for me so I skitter back across the northern border at the end of March.

I suffer with Sjogren's so I am naturally dry until I get on a bike or motorcycle and my nose flows. Even a walk or hike in the desert is enough to open the flood gates.

The best part of riding alone is you don't have to worry about hitting the rider behind you! You let it fly!
