A2) I had a bee fly in one of the vents on my helmet; it crawled around on my head for a while as I kind of freaked out, then flew away with no harm to either of us.

A2b. I forgot that I have had this happen a few times. Probably intentionally. Not fun.

@ascentale @Brownian_motion @MartyCormack @bikenite Q2. No, not really. Unfortunately my “interesting” experiences are with people driving cars! (Though, really, most drivers are courteous and careful.)

@ascentale @Brownian_motion @MartyCormack @bikenite A friend riding recumbent trike was simply plastered with flying ants when we rode in their swarm season. It was before cell phones & cameras, though. It was thoroughly horrific

@ascentale @Brownian_motion @MartyCormack @bikenite #bikeNite Q2 I went camping and had oh, 33 chigger bites, I counted, they were itchy, I was going to ask for sympathy on the Monday ride.
Oh, Ann? She had cleared some ivy from the side of her house and knocked off a wasps' nest. Many stings. And the ivy? Poison.
I just kept my mouth shut. -

@ascentale @Brownian_motion @MartyCormack @bikenite A2. On our big annual city ride last Saturday, I was zipping along and got smacked in the face by a bee! I was fine, but it was a weird thing! #BikeNite

@ascentale @Brownian_motion @MartyCormack @bikenite A2: Not while riding, but I was walking up the hill from the bus stop one day and this big hornet just came through the air in a big long arc out of nowhere, ran straight into the middle of my forehead, stung me instantly, and fucked off. It was like an intentional hit-and-run by a bee just because it could and I was all like YOU FUCKER

@ascentale @Brownian_motion @MartyCormack @bikenite A2. The time a gnat flew into my eye and got stuck was not very interesting, but it was educational. I’ve never ridden without glasses after that.
EDIT: found the photo! The most charming experience was the time a fuzzy little SPIDER with emerald eyes decided to come for a ride on my handlebars. I tried to dissuade it, but it was determined and stuck with me for several miles. Maybe it just needed a lift? #BikeNite

@Brownian_motion @MartyCormack @bikenite A2. I've been stung by some sort of insect I think 3 times now.
Once on the chest.. some wasp-like insect (it was small, had stripes - I have the incident on video!) hit my knuckle and then tumbled onto my chest and stung me before falling off. I haven't been hit with a BB gun, but that's what I imagine the sting felt like.
I've been stung on my knee and eyelid as well, though I don't remember hitting the insect first before being stung.

I get spiders hitchhiking like this all the time. One from a year and a half ago.
"A male Pelegrina sp. I'd guess probably Pelegrina proterva." according to someone on a spider ID group elsewhere.

Sounds premeditated.
Guilty of sting,your honor.

@ascentale @Brownian_motion @MartyCormack #BikeNite A2 A drawback to biking in the evening for us is lots more bugs hit our face. We definitely wear protective glasses to keep them out of our eyes. @bikenite
