HowardSteele Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 So besides the dreaded tyre snakebite and the chainring chomp.How Many of you Hubbers have experienced a bit of discomfort along the ride caused by one of the critters listed in the poll above.Bee,Wasp,Blind-fly..Some call them Horseflies ,Beefly,Mozzie,Tick,Spider,Scorpion,Snake, Dog..... Other (so far in others we've had Egyptian Goose,Midges and Tsetse Fly) someone mentioned Baboon but i've never heard of a biker being bitten.
bullet77 Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 I've been bitten by more than one of those critters, which one gets the vote?

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Bee, ticks & horse flies. Last ones are the worst 'cos they just hover and hover and I fkn hate them so much. At least ticks you can get off you. Hoogekraal & flies. Joh. No fanks.
Odinson Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Hold up! There are people who have been bitten by a bee?!
Stretch Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Missing from your list is the dreaded horse fly. I was once joined by a dreaded pair of the critters at the bottom of a monster technical long climb on a sticky summers day. The fekkers hounded me the whole time up the hill and between pushing cadence, concentrating on the technical climb and trying to brush the pair of them away.. It was hell!
V12man Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Best you add Tsetse fly.... evil beasties those

The fekkers hounded me the whole time up the hill and between pushing cadence, concentrating on the technical climb and trying to brush the pair of them away.. It was hell!Easily my least favourite insect. Closely followed by mozzies. The relentless, high-pitched whine. You know they're there, and then they fly close to your ears and yyou try to get em while you're in that place inbetween wakefulness and slumber. GAH!
MORNE Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 some ticks, those little red wasps...and a militant maltese poodle

HowardSteele Posted September 9, 2019 Author Posted September 9, 2019 Hold up! There are people who have been bitten by a bee?! ok some of them are stringers
stefmeister Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 1 snake bite so far. What are the odds?
Chris_ Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Surely someone on the hub has been klapped by a baboon on the cradle loop.
