    In cold weather I use a bandana wrapped around my neck to wipe my runny nose. Easier to reach than my pocket.

    Since I get nosebleeds at the drop of a hat...nose rockets are not an option.
    A glove works most of the time (yes, you can wash them as long as you don't put them in the dryer), or a bandana, or sometimes just my sleeve. Hell...I do have one of them auto-matic-clothes-washing-machines. (They work wonders on snot!).

    yesterday while riding, Silver conceptualized the design for a snot catcher

    It would catch it, and drain to the road.

    Of course, then we both realized in our cases it would get clogged and back-up

    I hate to admit it, but when I try to do a snot rocket I usually end up messing up either my hand or my leg. How do you avoid this?
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    You have to make sure you turn your head to the side slightly (too much and it will land on your shoulder) and you have to blow HARD for it to clear you. Also it helps if you have some speed so your momentum moves you away from it. I hate to admit that I've done this enough to be pretty good at it.

    Yes, I use this method too. Cold weather it's around my neck and when it gets hot, it is used for sweat instead of snot.
    I just keep telling myself..."I am the Tortise; slow and steady finishes the race." I am the Tortise, coo coo ca choo.

    it is all about the snot rockets! just watch out for those cross winds! I am in south fl and I do all of my riding along a1a, it runs up the beach) so for big parts of my rides i am not blocked from the normal east winds. When they become crosswinds, some of the snot rockets end up on my leg or arm. not always pretty but oh well

    On the bike, on the run... I've become so dependent on the snot rocket that I have to catch myself from doing it in spin class.

    I can see you being banned from spinning.
