[RBW] Sun Protection in Sunny Climes

[Vincent Tamer]

REI makes some great UV resist clothing. I gave up wearing shorts for the most 
part, because they just aren’t that fashionable. Now on hot days I wear some 
very thin hiking pants from REI. They work fine. I wore them in the Philippines 
in 90 F weather with 85 percent humidity and they were good in the weather, esp 
for keeping the ants away, not that you have that problem.

Mas - I'm a bit confusticated about your riding along the "katy trail" with 
"bamboo shading" when it seems like your regular posts indicate that you 
live in Texas.  As far as I know, the Katy Trail runs E-to-W through 
central Missouri.  Please explain.

True, we can't control every harmful factor, but I figure it would be silly not 
to avoid those that I can easily avoid.
I can avoid absorbing chemicals into my body by simply not buying or wearing 
sunscreen. I'll probably still use it in certain situations were I know I'm 
just going to be more or less stationary in the sun in the middle of the day 
with no shade (outdoor concert for example), but as I've gotten older (even 
before Covid) I prefer to avoid these types of venues anyway. 
If I avoid riding middle of the day, or organize my ride in such a way as to 
maximize the natural  elements along the way that will shade me; trees, 
buildings, etc. I find I very rarely need sunscreen. Especially since moderate 
exposure is a healthy source of vitamin D. 
Humans have been living in the sun for thousands of years (and probably been 
putting sunscreens on for almost as long) but there are those things that we 
don't find out were bad for us for years and years until people start dying of 
cancer or whatever. So I'll continue to use sunscreen sparingly if at all. 
I know Leah prefers to ride at night anyway; probably partly because of the sun 
element. I am guessing that maybe she's looking to expand her 11 mile loop. 
Which might entail leaving earlier and therefore being exposed to increased 
sunlight. 
When I was riding to work last year, in July thru early September I would stay 
late at work, another hour or so. At that point I knew that the angle of the 
sun would start getting low enough in the sky that the bamboo along the West 
side of the Katy trail or the trees would keep me out of the direct sun and 
when I was in the sun it would be at my back.
Basically, a little forethought can be your most effective tool.

Just when I thought I was remote enough there were no cameras! Caught in

Re: [RBW] Sun Protection in Sunny Climes

Aye. Life is fatal. Grin.

One alternative skin protectant on a hot day is to ride dirt roads and 
trails. Tires kick up dust. Dust sticks to sweaty skin. Pass it off as a 
tan. Blocks sun too. Grin.

With abandon,

Re: [RBW] Sun Protection in Sunny Climes

[George Schick]

Eric - you make some good points.  As a culture we seem to be slowly 
entranced into the concept of being "safe" everywhere and for everything. 
 There is no such thing as being absolutely safe.  One can get seriously 
injured or even killed in any number of ways every day.  It's more about 
weighing the risks of one thing against another.  As someone well known to 
all of us once said, "just ride."

Re: [RBW] Sun Protection in Sunny Climes

['Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bunch]

The FDA still advises using sunscreen; basically, the risk and consequences of 
skin cancer outweigh the risks of wearing sunscreen. They also did not conclude 
that any of the chemicals absorbed are unsafe (although they would like to do 
additional research).

Read more here: 
https://www.fda.gov/news-events/fda-voices/shedding-more-light-sunscreen-absorption
 

 

It’s about balancing risks.

We all make these decisions every day. We go out to ride our bikes, despite the 
risk that we might get hit by a car. The benefits of the ride outweigh the 
risk. People who don’t ride their bikes for fear of being hit by a car look at 
the same situation and make a different decision.

having eliminated various non-beneficial oils from his diet makes me wonder 
if our diets are interfering with out body's vitamin D uptake.  A certain 
amount of sun for the benefit of its ability to induce our vitamin D 
production is not a bad thing.  Blood tests in recent years revealed that I 
was way low on several vitamins and minerals, D among them, and I've been 
taking supplements ever since.  As far as that goes, some in the medical 
field have been saying recently that the many herbicides, pesticides, etc. 
used in the growth of various cereals, not to mention the antibiotics 
stuffed into animals, have negatively impacted our immune systems and 
therefore our ability to fight off viruses.  Food for thought and 
consideration.

[RBW] Sun Protection in Sunny Climes

[Roberta]

I use these UV sunblock arm sleeves: 
https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bike-clothing/cycling-arm-leg-warmers/bontrager-uv-sunstop-cycling-arm-cover/p/22817/
  Surprisingly , they don't add much warmth. I'll try Deacon Patricks wetting 
bandana sugestion for these once it gets hot here. 

Glacier Glove UV gloves that someone here recommended to me last year: 
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001OPK2W6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Sunscreen on my knees, although I'm thinking about getting these Aero Tech 
Pedal pushers for summer riding (they also make men's clothing): 
https://www.aerotechdesigns.com/womens-urban-pedal-pusher-capri.html .  I also 
have yoga bottoms of a similar length, but they are warm.  A friend of mine 
walks a lot and gets sunburned on the back of her calves, so if I walk I'm 
going to start using sunscreen there.

Two bandanas - one tied in the front with the flap protecting back of my neck, 
one tied in back with flap protecting décolletage.  I have bandanas from Riv 
and from Target.  The Target ones are more loosely woven, so they are not quite 
as hot, but both sets still warm me.  I'm going to try Deacon Patrick's wetting 
suggestion.

Alba Botanica mineral sunscreen on my face and/or Bare Minerals foundation (for 
non exercise outdoors). Sunscreen on shoulders if they are exposed.  Other 
sunscreen on body if I forgo physical coverup.  Big floppy hat when I remember. 
  I also bought a stick hat pin last year to help the hat from flying off my 
head with wind.

Re: [RBW] Sun Protection in Sunny Climes

[masmojo]

Leah, This may sound odd, but I have several Motorcross shirts. (I think 
they make ladies as well) or you could look at mountain biking jerseys I 
have one by Kona
The things I like about these:
- Long Sleeve
- Variety of designs from Subdued to High Vis
- light weight mesh material that is not tight or form fitting, but not too 
baggy either, breaths pretty well and I am not terrible uncomfortable until 
it gets to the high 80's and even then it's OK as log as the sun isn't 
beating down your neck or there's a decent breeze. Above 88 or so & I am 
gonna go short sleeve and likely a cycling jersey of some sort.
 I saw some branded Santa Cruz on Epay for pretty cheap and ladies MTB 
jerseys can be cheap on there too.

As soon as it gets hot i start riding on the shady side of the street!!!

https://troyleedesigns.com/collections/new-arrival-jerseys   (check out the 
Sale section as well)

Fox, Has stuff like this; Maybe not ideal, but might give you some 
idea's??: 
https://www.foxracing.com/womens-ranger-drirelease%C2%AE-3%2F4-jersey/23239.html?dwvar_23239_color=001&dwvar_23239_size=XS&cgid=sale-mtb#prefn1=gender&prefv1=female&start=13

Might be some women's oriented stuff? Terry maybe?

Oh Yeah! 
http://www.terrybicycles.com/Apparel/Cycling-Tops?gclid=CjwKCAjwwYP2BRBGEiwAkoBpAgtdXnDwyndkH7BK8xfc4tceM5_IkN1pWa2GN5x4PKxuSXR8XpqcsRoCa1YQAvD_BwE&matchtype=e&keyword=terry+bikes&clicktype=sitelink&device=c&creative=100489492038

I feel like I should apologize; it certainly seems like the lions share of 
this type thing is Male oriented!

Re: [RBW] Sun Protection in Sunny Climes

['Deacon Patrick' via RBW Owners Bunch]

A number of thoughts from cooler but higher altitude Colorado where all day 
bikepacking trips are a sun challenge:

- I sunburn far less since eliminating industrial oils from my diet (soy, 
canola, etc).
- Calendula oil does wonders for healing burns rapidly. Also brilliant as a 
disinfectent and for rapid healing of scrapes.
- Loose, long sleeve, lightweight chambray or similar all cotton shirt. 
Similarly for pants. Gramicci is worth looking into there.
- I wear either cotton shorts, and sunscreen as needed, or wool breeks.
- For heat, a bandana rolled up and soaked works great and refresh as 
needed. Cools the blood going up and down the neck and via evaporation.

With abandon,
Patrick

Re: [RBW] Sun Protection in Sunny Climes

[Andrew Erman]

Leah,

Here are some links.  My dermatologist said that people often don’t have sun 
related skin cancers after the 3rd one because they become more careful.  So 
far so good for me.  And I hope he is right!

Best,

Andy

Re: [RBW] Sun Protection in Sunny Climes

[Leah Peterson]

Andy, did you attach a link somewhere and I’m not seeing it?

I’m so sorry about your skin cancers. Ugh, really scary. I had an end stage 
melanoma patient once, and it really left an impression on me. I’m going for my 
annual dermatology visit when this crisis is over.

Re: [RBW] Sun Protection in Sunny Climes

[Andrew Erman]

Leah, you may already be aware of these products but there are some clothing 
that are designed to protect the active person form UV.  I have never tried

recipient of 3 skin cancer surgeries, I can understand your desire for 
protection.  Best, Andy
