Sorry, I know you wanted a serious answer and I can't help with that.

I was giggling when I saw your post az fiddle cause it was exactly what I was thinking as I read the previous posts!

let us know if those disks work!

[Bike Writer]

I will, that should be some fashion statement. A sticky tape on my helmet (with flies stuck on it) and a bow made from a fabric softner sheet!

Better than getting bit by those blood suckers!

Rain tonight and on the forecast for the next couple of days. As soon as I have the opportunity to ride I'll give them a test and report back.

Are those what we call horse flies?

Horseflies are big, deer flies are small and vicious, a little bit smaller than houseflies. The worst part is you don't feel them until they've already bitten.
