    Anyone got any tips for resolving the constant, annoying, incessant sniffles i get when riding? i know theres the old rockets you can perform but that only alleviates the problem very temporarily and isnt particularly good looking.

    Any tips/tricks to reduce them?

    You could try an antihistamine or a pseudophed tablet if it’s sniffles caused by allergy, failing that gloves with bigger snot wipes!

    gloves with big snot wipes help.

    I keep a ‘proper’ hankie to hand as they still work when wet and muddy.

    Tried Vicks on the jersey?

    There’s a steroid spray you can get from sympathetic exersizing GPs. Or you could just carry a tissue

    Tissues are a nuisance. Thought it might be something others suffer with? I have one of those Vicks nasal thingies?

    i place one finger of one nostril and blow very hard… what comes out is very much bio-degradable… i then repeat the process on t’other side.

    i look simply charming when doing it too 😳
