In the US we have a much nastier habit among weight weenie cyclists

for missile #2. I was almost hit by one when pulling out to pass a
cyclist. It's disgusting.


Yes, I'm sure it's the weight of the tissue that prevents these
cyclists from using them. Maybe it's some guy coming up behind them
with the tunes blaring and the bright headlight that invokes this
behavior...

I would much rather see the occasional tiny blob of snot on the road
instead of blowing tissues. How and from where does one fish a dry
tissue when riding along? Think of the trees, for God's sake.


I get mine out of a wonderful invention from of old: A pocket.
