Do you spit while cycling (a no-smut thread) :-)

[Fnaar]

I mean spitting. While cycling. A cycling buddy a while ago pointed out that I do it a lot.
I've been conscious of it since. I did a 106-mile sportive on Saturday, and I have to admit, I was spitting a lot. I don't know why I do it. I do it when running too. I don't do it in normal everyday activities.

 

[Drago]

Nope. Not ever.

More of a nose clearer than a spitter, I'll clear my nose before every climb and segment attempt.

I don't often spit but I do snot-bomb - a lot. I get a really running/blocked nose when cycling so it's a bit of necessity. I always shoulder-check to see if anyone is behind me but it's not the first time I've been in a group and been hit with the spray of someone in front

To me anybody that spits is vulgar

 

[ianrauk]

Now and again, not a lot though.

 

[Slioch]

Snot-bombs only for me too. The only time I spit is when I swallow a fly, then it's all hands to the pump for the next 60 seconds until I clear it.

I have never when riding a bike. Indeed, I can't remember the last time I spat. I clear my nose, but don't spit.

If you have a spitting habit - don't go on holiday to Singapore.

 

[winjim]

No, it's disgusting. I'll make an exception for flying insects though.

 

[Red17]

Only ever spit to remove flying objects / insects.

Never quite understood why footballers need to spit every few minutes, but in other sports like say tennis you never see it.

Well, me too, in normal life... I used to have an old NHS poster, with "do not spit" in about 20 languages.
But I don't know why I do it when cycling or running.
A quick google tells me I'm really not alone on that.

 

[robjh]

Yes, whenever I need to which is quite a lot.

 

[Milkfloat]

I am rubbish at spiting - I am more likely to dribble than shoot it across the road. I am more of a swill and swallow kind of guy.

Just checking - we are talking solo cycling here and not some kind of weird act on a tandem?

 

[threebikesmcginty]

On the bike; dockyard oysters and snot rockets.
Off the bike; no.
