Always over the shoulder unless traffic is following close behind! Have to get the angle just right otherwise I get a snotty shoulder!

Expertly aimed at the third 'imaginary' point outside and between knee and shoulder on either side. No mess or dribbling, unless my sinuses are blocked!

Can someone explain why nasal cavities require such excavations during physical activity?
I can take the dog out for 2-3 hours, or get dragged around town for hours by SWMBO, all without any nasal activity requirements, but embark on any type of physical excersion, and within a very short timespan I have the need to clear my passages!

I've started that disgusting behaviour of late, over the shoulder is my current preferred strategy. For the left nostril it works well but for the right

I can't gob to save my life so doubt I'll ever manage a snot rocket... are there any educational references, Cyclecraft for instance? DfT guidelines?
I did almost end up wearing one yesterday... a fast group overtook me (won't mention any clubs or that I also happen to me a member) and I attempted to hang onto their tail - futile as I'd been battling the wind solo for a fair few miles at that point... but the rear rider blessed me with said rocket a few seconds after clocking me over his shoulder.
Maybe it was a punishment rocket?
I forgot to thank him when they had all stopped a hundred yards down the road due to a pile up ;0)
(Nothing serious just a graze).

I've tried over the shoulder and can do it well with the left, but not from the right due to accident damage to right sinuses. If no-one's watching I'll use the snot-band on the glove for a quick wipe (that's what they're for, innit?) otherwise it's tissues. I don't have Lavender scented and monogrammed silk handkerchiefs 'cos they don't sell then in Aldis, so it's disposable ones for me.
