any ideals on keeping bugs off your face shield.
I can drive my car all day and get a few bugs on my windshield, I ride my bike 2 hours and get two dozen bugs on my face shield. Is there a film that can be put on your face shield, and when it gets buggy you can pull it off.
Or maybe a spinner attached to your helmet that will fling the bugs away. Any ideals?

There are peel offs like they use in race cars etc.. A visor helps w/ the aero dynamics & keeps a lot ofthem away. Nothing woulda helped the love bug attack I got today!! Thank god I wasnt on the bike- I woulda suffocated!! Even this littleguy wouldnt have helped> :hammer:

Stop riding with a face shield. Open mouth wide. Crunch down on each bug. Swallow after every third bug. A high protein, natural food. Save the planet!

Don't ride during the buggiest part of the day (dusk), if possible.

Capture some of them, tie up something similar, and head for the stream!
