Turbo etiquette...?

So whilst on my Turbo, I need to empty all the phlegm and snot which gathers up my nose, is it acceptable to empty it onto the dining room floor...?
And does it still have to be emptied to the left so it lands on the verge...?
I am married, incase that makes a difference.

Best thing is that you get to discard bottles like the pros0

Depends what others are eating at the time. You could try spitting in the soup (sorry, couldn't resist).0 -

Absolutely... your 'better half' can then easily sweep it up with the gel wrappers. Obviously this is only acceptable if you are wearing a helmet and have earphones in.Felix pouches (tuna or salmon)0 -
Swallow.

Do you also swallow your poo when you need to get it out? Swallowing is very unhealthy.0 -

I would say at worst swallowing it is slightly unpleasant for you but gobbing is deeply unpleasant for everyone else.
Unless you are in your living room on a turbo, then it is fine. Bonus points if Jeremy Kyle is on the telly and you get him.0 -

QUIET! Some of us have spent years trying to convince our wife/gf swallowing is perfectly healthy !!!0 -

A HELMET...???
Oh jeez, I hadn't even considered wearing my helmet on the turbo.
Why has this got to be so complicated.0 -
If it lands on your dining room floor YES that's fine.
If it lands on my dining room floor NO that's not fine.

I thought a helmet was only necessary for when falling off the rollers, not a turbo? Is this because it is further to step down off a bike on the turbo than when on the road?0

I once fell asleep on my turbo from sheer boredom and hit my head on the sofa. If I hadn't been wearing my helmet I would have been dead, FACT. There was even a shiny patch on the helmet where the cushion had wiped off some dirt, what more proof do you need? If you don't wear a helmet on the turbo you are a complete tool.0

Exactly... Missus brought me a cup of tea the other day with nearly catastrophic consequences. I can't prove that the helmet saved my life. I just know....0

I never fell asleep. I'm hoping it was down to the techno techno techno music rather than watching mens bottoms clad in lycra that motivated me.

I think if you examine your fall Pross you'll find that your shoulder hit the sofa first...0 -

Funnily enough the only time I have banged my head was falling off the rollers.
No, I was not wearing a helmet.0 -

I'd have thought so too. If it was that unhealthy to swallow a natural substance secreted by your own throat and sinuses then most people would be continually ill from doing just that, because most people don't feel the need to gob it all over the place.

Just given my turbo bike's chain set and BB a strip, clean and re-lube. I can confirm that sweat is corrosive.0

I'm not a sweaty person, but on using my Turbo i've been sweating like a nonse in a nursery...
