Spitting is gross but swallowing flies is grosser, and probably a health hazard.
Whenever it happens to me I do what Svendo said in post #5, either that or puke… not sure what "disgusted oncoming cyclist" would make of that…
Depends how big it is, if it is only a small midge or something then I probably would of swallowed it before I could spit.
Otherwise I kind of just push it to the lips and let the wind take it.
If you are Jewish or a vegetarian/vegan, then spit.
Otherwise, I've never managed to get one down cleanly, so would advocate spitting, even though I still think of them as small protein packs.
