Time to keep your mouth shut

[James Blackwell]

T'is the season to keep your mouth closed when cycling. No more lazy breathing technique or a mouthful of flies you shall eat.

I noticed it was particularly buggy on my commute home last night. First one hit me square on the forehead, one of those you see coming in from a few metres out and know there's nothing you'll do that'll avoid it.

Also I seem to have missed National Glass Smashing Day as chunks of my commute in both directions were littered with broken glass of multiple types (bottles, actual glasses, even plates). Never normally that bad.

Hmmm, I've had a few close calls lately... it's probably only a matter of time before a little extra mid-ride protein is ingested!

Flies usually overtake me.

I'm just waiting for the annual wasp-to-the-forehead-at-30mph lottery to begin. It's almost, but not quite, as bad as the bee-in-the-helmet one.

I have a good month till this is an issue.
In my world the current issues is all the garbage of winter, it has started to decompose. As our winters are very cold the first few weeks of winter are marked by the foul stench of organic material breaking down.

A fly in my eye during my commute this morning. I managed to get most of it out, except for its arse and a wing, which I had to pull over and scoop out.

Joys of being a spectacles wearer, I never get that problem

I just cycle in glasses. I don't feel vulnerable when I choose not to wear a helmet, but if I cycle without gloves and glasses it really makes me feel uncomfortable.

The glasses came out too yesterday. Quite glad I had those on too. Not a huge fan of mid ride protein provided by airbourne route.
