Going to save a lot of money on food...

...if I don't learn to keep my mouth closed while riding my ebike!

As with many areas, spring time == bug time. As gross as it is, here in the US southeast bugs are out en masse, and every time I open my mouth while riding, I consume some.

Wife is always telling me to shut my mouth, but seems I never learn. Perhaps I'll research the nutritional value of different insects and save on our grocery bill.

My nose is usually blocked so I'm happy my Fox Rampage helmet has a metal grill over the mouth hole. Keeps sticks (not a risk, I don't downhill MTB race) and animals out. The chin guard is useful for preventing road burn on my chin, too.
This month we have big bees bumbling about. They go whack when they hit the helmet. I wear sunglasses and polyester gloves, too.

You could wear a mask loosely as you ride.

When I was 10, I was riding home from getting an ice cream cone from a local amusement park, one summer's early evening. Thwap @#$&/!phfffft! went a whole swarm of no-see-ums, right into my ice cream. I learned my lesson. Don't ride a bike with an ice cream cone in one hand at dusk.

I did a ride halfway across the US picking up a motorcycle some time back, and apparently it was a 'locust cycle'/cicadas. Crossing through Kentucky going over the bridge 'things started hitting me' - I was extremely glad I was geared up - no fairing and these things were several inches/quite big, they made quite the noise and splat at speed. Thankfully I was wearing a full face helmet with the visor down!
This literally went on for miles.

Were you able to learn it? Saving money on food is definitely a smart move—but it only works if it means eating less, not cutting corners on the quality of what you eat. Skimping on nutrition can backfire and leave you feeling worse in the long run. Otherwise, if you end up compromising too much on what you eat, you might find yourself needing to Buy Ozempic Online and having some serious conversations with your doctor about how to manage your health. It’s all about finding that balance between being budget-conscious and taking good care of your body.

They are here on the upper Cape, but no sign of them where I live mid Cape. They are supposedly about to start dying off next week.

Our cold Coastal Nor. Cal. foggy nights keep down the bugs but I still always have sunglasses or yellow safety goggles after dark. One bug in the eye can ruin a ride. I normally only encounter them along one section of one creek. Also the hundreds of barn swallows help keep flying bugs in check. Off topic, today I saw a giant sturgeon while crossing a tidal river bridge. It was a foot in diameter. For some reason they swim from the SF Bay to the fresh headwaters to die. There are a bunch of their skulls and the vultures love it.

You are so resilient, riding a motorbike halfway across America. I would like to give you some feedback!

LoL I first thought you're eating a sandwich while riding

Bugs are free protein. Get 'em while they're fresh!
