No asthma or allergies, but I still predominantly mouth-breathe when I bike. I don't think I could ever get in enough air otherwise! Are some of you actually able to mainly breathe through your nose while riding? You must have better breathing patterns/habits than I do!

oh - the bugs- I have no idea how many I've swallowed or choked on over the years. Very gross, but I just try and not think about it where that bug might have been and hope my stomach acid is enough to kill any contamination.
