Possibly in the lanes of Cheshire you can do that, but if you stop on the CS7 you cause a pile up... :?left the forum March 20230 -

I'm a natural "to the left" spitter. Trying to spit to the right feels awkward.
Besides, the last thing I need when overtaking someone is for them to lob a gobful of phlegm at me!0 -
Spitters are quiters, so I'm told :roll:
I can't ride no-handed without concentrating, so taking out a tissue from somewhere is out of the question. I don't see the issue really of spitting, snot-rocketing etc on the road as long as you don't do it right in the face of others.WyndyMilla Massive Attack | Rourke 953 | Condor Italia 531 Pro | Boardman CX Pro | DT Swiss RR440 Tubeless Wheels

Oh please. Are you telling me you can't ride a bike and blow your nose at the same time? Even I can do that and I'm rubbish at riding a bike. And I don't ride in the lanes of Cheshire - too posh for the likes of me I'm sink estates, cannabis farms and dodgy lock ups all the way to Cragg Vale....Commute: Chadderton - Sportcity0 -

I suppose I could carry a tissue, but it would get soaked in sweat and useless in no time... besides, why destroying forest for paper tissue that I don't need... a good spit on the road has never offended any driver... never been beeped at for spitting, never!left the forum March 20230 -
