Somehow, I've never been stung while riding my bike (road). But I worry when we're riding the levee path while the maintenance crew is cutting the grass - cause that makes the bees mad.

I think it isn't the clothes that attract the bees as the sweeter smelling stuff we tend to wash in. The perfumes in soaps and shampoo, made for women, tend to attract bugs.

Of course, nothing really stops a mad wasp. Couple of years ago while at my Aunt's house in northern Louisiana (evacuating from a hurricane....) a red wasp flew straight at me and stung me. Confirmed that, yes, I'm still very allergic to bees and wasps (Hymanoptera .. i think that's spelled right). In fact it came close to killing me. Run from a hurricane and get done in by a bug. There is not justice in the world.

Not that I'm stopping you, HappyAnika, from shopping, but maybe you should consider the soaps you use to wash yourself and your clothes in. Most women do like to stink pretty as my grandfather used to say.
