that's what we call them in Maine...

I ride at Lake Hefner in OKC, and they're always bad around the dam. I just avoid that part during dawn and dusk, but I don't suppose you can do that on your commute. hee hee

They sure can be annoying. Grab one of those mosquito nets and put it over your helmet. Might make cars give you an extra-wide berth ("what IS that thing on her head??"). Cars will certainly be more aware of you.

Why is that your screen-name. I've always wondered...

Me, too....

I can see how they would be terrible around Hefner-- have you been to tulsa? the river is the mating ground or something for those darn things. I am almost wanting to put a box around my head and play some LMFAO really loud during that 4-5 miles stretch. My commute is all trail until i get to the downtown cutoff-- so that's nice. i could MAYBE try and swing over to the ROAD and ride--maybe they aren't as bad over there!!

Ugh... the river trails are lovely there in Tulsa... except during gnat mating season. But how wonderful that it's all trail until you get to downtown. Sweet!! No wonder it's miserable, tho!! I like the box on the head look- just cut some eyes out and enjoy the ride.

and if you accidentally swallow a lightning bug on your commute, you get a bonus. Electrolytes!

Har har har!!

I miss lightning bugs. We don't have them here.

I love them too and we don't have them either. Except that a few turned up about 50 mi south of here earlier this year. We've surely dehydrated them by now.
