39 | Subject: It's snot funny Every time I ride I get a large amount of mucus discharge from my nose. Most of the time it will last the entire ride. Is it the wind that causes this? I get this same problem to a lesser extent when I run. Is there anything I can do to decrease the amount of mucus? |

The first time I did, I was horrified that someone might see me. Now I just make sure that I don't hit anyone. |

You also have to make sure to apply a sufficient head-turn and lean, and take any crosswinds into account, especially when moving at speed on your bike. Otherwise, that rocket is going to end up on your shoulder or painted across the side of your head. Triathletes are gross. |

New user 1351 Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: It's snot funny I have the same problem with an overload of never ending snot, and I've just learned to live with it. It sucks, but I've gotten so used to snot rockets that I have to remind myself not to just do it in public all the time. That's a little weird... |

41 | Subject: RE: It's snot funny Triathletes are gross. I think this about sums up the sport on the whole. I've learned to stay way clear of someone on a bike who shoulder checks over BOTH shoulders rather than just the left one. |

1055 | Subject: RE: It's snot funny When it's cold, absolutely an issue, especially sub 55 degrees on the bike. When it's warmer, not so much. The solution is as others have suggested. |

Grossed the hell out of my wife until she started riding with me. Now she blows them but only when stopped and down to the ground. Eventually she too will get comfortable enough doing them rolling and will have her own snot epaulets on her shoulder. |

Most of the time it will last the entire ride. Is it the wind that causes this? I get this same problem to a lesser extent when I run. Is there anything I can do to decrease the amount of mucus? I too get a ton of snot when I exercise. When I run, I'm clearing my throat and coughing it up and blowing it out my nose, when I bike at least I'm not coughing but I am the snot rocket queen! Every 5 minutes I have to clear my nose. I do occasionally get the snotty shoulder/arm/leg/back of bike/cheek, but at least I can breathe again! I don't know why this happens and it drives me NUTS!! Tip #1: I keep a roll of tp on my handlebars when I'm on the trainer and just let it all pile up on the floor. I'm amazed at how much there is when I'm done. Tip #2: I have found that a small application of Vick's Vapo Rub just on the inside of my nostrils reduces the amount of snot, but doesn't prevent it. I'll take what I can get.

Use the other hand to plug a nostril, and blow. Goes right between your side and your arm. |

Expert 1224 Is this Heaven? No, it's Iowa. | Subject: RE: It's snot funny Originally posted by GatorDeb I get this the worst during spin class, so it's not the wind
I brought a new buddy that I have ridden outside rides with for a few months to spin class. He's a snot rocket kind of guy. This was his first spin class and about 15 minutes into it, he blew a snot rocket all over the floor. I, along with the instructor and the other 15 people in the room, were stunned. I busted out laughing because it's just a normal thing for him during our rides. The instructor was P I S S E D off. It still cracks me up thinking about it.
