• Today I was out cycling in a humid area full of flying insects… lucky I’m not a vegetarian!!! I’ve swallowed a few, and the blows to my face are annoying. I thought this might be a situation I encounter frequently in Norway… How do you do it? Do you know any tricks? I’ve been thinking about a kind of helmet with a mosquito net…

      • Depending on the season and area, you’ll see no insects at all or will be covered in swarms as soon as you stop. Matthew’s text in the FAQ section (https://cyclenorway.com/en/faq/, “Are there any middies or mosquitoes in Norway?”) sums it up pretty well. An insect repellent, long sleeves and pants help a lot, a hair net (weighs nothing) under the helmet is pretty helpful in extreme situations 😀
