Are Snot Rockets Gross?

Was it me?

Yes

I must be some biological freak because I don't think my body can even do them or needs to. Such a baffling little activity.

Next you'll be telling us you don't pass wind.

Then there is the other phenomenon of cyclists droop. A drop of snot that forms on the end of your nose often when just standing next to a bike in clod weather. Sometimes not even noticed by the person (until it drips onto their jacket)

Less problematic as this seldom affects other apart from looking disgusting. A standard hankie is generally enough to control this

I love a good rocket. I work outdoors so blast them all day long with impunity. Hard to stop myself when in polite company..
I try my best to exercise discretion or glove wipe when riding with others.
I draw the line at pissing from up the top of trees though. I’ve worked with a few lads over the years who consider that to be perfectly acceptable...

I’m all over it. Quick, efficient and beard clearing through my left nostril, but disappointingly hit and miss through my right - I usually stop for that side to avoid it going all over the place. I don’t dump near other cyclists though, seems a bit inconsiderate?

Those talking about glove-wiping are either blowing their noses into their gloves or doing their snot rockets wrong. It's nowhere near the as effective. Once you rocket you'll never be blockèd. Or something.

But my problem isn't bogies actually lodged in my nose, moreso about an inch of clearish snot that just dangles. Doesn't need ejecting at speed.
Like BREXIT, I seem to have misread the situation. Only 39% think it's disgusting? Is it the young snowflakes voting for acceptance of snotrockets? Did your mum not teach you all any manners?

Spent 9 hours freezing my arse off on a cargo bike today, snot rockets, not so discrete glove wipes and uncontrollable facial leaking aplenty. It's meant to be colder tomorrow so maybe everything will just freeze up.

I voted. I'm not sure the survey will tell us much.
I would want to know some basic demographics (age, postcode, gender).

Have none of you been to Paris?

Seems to be de rigueur over there. Cyclist or (s)not!

I wasn't on top of my snot rocket/ discrete glove wipe game at work today. Ended up with a very crusty buff when the runny snot froze. Must do better tomorrow.

These were called nose gobs in the 1990s.

I don't think I have anything else to add.

I think I may be doing a spectacular U turn on my snot rocket stance. After 6 hours of discreet wiping into my gloves last weekend, my gloves were sodden with snot and my fingers fucking cold. Will practice my technique this Sunday.

Forehand only; no backhand.

Think that snout-drop is normally just condensation of your breath, hence why it’s normally much more runny than actual snot. And only really happens when it’s cold.

Yeah, that's the thing. You hear people sniffling all day (on a hike or whatever) and when you eventually convince them to do a snot rocket they're blown away (ho ho) by the fact that they can breathe again.

6 hours of sniffling or few snot rockets; the choice is obvious

Snot rockets are gross, but until they invent a terry cloth attachment the size of a sleeve (there's an idea for you Rapha...) that just attaches to your arm OR a robot arm that fits your stem and blows your nose on voice commands I don't see them going anywhere.

Bar on the road, far away from others.
