Nettles are a pain, but at least the pain goes quite quicky...half an hour for me, after a bit of terrible itching.

Mozzies are something else entirely. In Italy, a couple of years ago, the Italian Airforce went for the skin on the back of my knuckles. All the sprays in the world could not deflect them. I ended up with a whole load of big serum-filled blisters. Quite strange, but blooming annoying...they itched like Hell for two weeks and drove me crazy.

Give me nettles, any day.

Clearly the saddle sore is the one to go for - it means that you've had the chance to do some serious cycling - it also isn't going to kill you like sunburn/skin cancer. You also don't feel the need to scratch your skin off and if you are not cycling it's not very painful. The other voters didn't think this through did they.

I am assuming that it must have been "Townies" that voted for anything but stinging nettles. :laugh:

Stinging Nettles - they don't irritate for long
Mozzies - horrid irritating things and can go sceptic
Saddle Sore would keep me off my bike (that's torture)
Sunburn on my fair skin - very painful
Blisters - not too drastic I suppose but take time to heal
