Where Small Bugs Hit You When Cycling
Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, and do whatever you want all the time, you could miss it.

Rocks hit my legs. I'm with you on the bugs though - but not just the small ones!Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

When I ride on the MUP by the creek near my house in the evenings I hear & feel flying insects hot my face, my glasses (now that I have cycling glasses), and of course in my mouth or stuck to my lips due to lip gloss/balm. I always appreciate the extra protein.

Yup and so fun since you are in the aerobic stage you usually have your mouth open. I know when approaching creek crossings/bridges to definitely close my mouth!

I must have some strange luck or something. They've bounced off my lip, but never hit me in the teeth or anything. The eye, on the other hand...and the little pests always find a way around my glasses!
At least I don't leave slime trails.

Don't want to think of how many bugs I've swallowed. Fresh protein anyone?
Have been smacked in the throat. Dragonflies hurt too.Beth
