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

[Crackle]

Yes, occasionally. Running too, though one has to be more careful running as there isn't the breeze to take it away. At any other time, no. I always look around before I do to try and ensure there's no one watching or god forbid, in the way.

 

[DEFENDER01]

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.

Yes very strange why footballers seem to spit every 5 yds perhaps its in their contract.

I seem to generate tons of snot whenever the temperature is below about 15 deg C. I do spit and blow snot quite a lot but try not to in urban areas, don't really see that spitting into a hedge is a problem, I make sure I swing over to the other side of the road to do it if riding in a group.

 

[ScotiaLass]

No. Never.
I do get a runny nose but carry tissues and use them when needed.

I think spitting or nose clearing (without a tissue!) is disgusting.

 

[accountantpete]

Only when I have something like a chest infection and I'm not very good as it usually ends in with a sticky mess on my arm.

 

[shouldbeinbed]

Now and again, not a lot though.

This.

I don't like doing it but now and again it is necessary.

 

[fossyant]

Snot rockets only

 

[Fnaar]

perhaps you should add : and do or did you play football ?

I used to, but wasn't a spitter during that (astroturf pitch might have helped in that regard).

 

[Fnaar]

I should add, 95% of my cycling is rural/middle of nowhere. If commuting into town, I don't spit.

Miss Goodbody also considers spitting vulgar, and insists on swallowing.

Damn, I said it was a 'no smut' thread. I just can't help it

 

[slowmotion]

No, never. It's gross.

 

[Levo-Lon]

Ive been known to swear,spit and drink Guinness...

i have to do the clear the nose thing but im not much of a spitter bar the wash mouth with water spit..
i used to ride with a guy who stopped constantely to use a tissue...ffs..you need to ramble pall..
i soon got fed up with that.

 

[Crackle]

I appreciate the gross dimension mentioned by some but for those of us who can't breathe through our nose when exercising and without going into details, feel our mouth breathing becoming restricted and knowing a swallow might be a struggle during which we can't feckin breathe, there is little option.

 

[swee'pea99]

To me anybody that spits is vulgar

'specially indoors.

 

[Cuchilo]

I do and I think its something to do with getting rid of acid while exercising but I could be wrong . Only do it on the bike mind you . Well , not on the bike directly .
