I usually carry a handkerchief with me when I ride (I call it the spanky-hanky), but often on solo rides I can't be bothered getting it out of my jersey pocket, so at those times Ijust fire snot rockets.

I used to spew if I was really unfit but it hasn't happened now for about 4 years

In the interests of making this issue at least as contentious as steel v. aluminum, I would like to point out the inherent safety advantages of the snort and spit method:
You don't have to take your hands off the bars.
All other methods are obviously inferior.

what does the indian leave at the side of the road that the englishman puts in his pocket?
