Biking in this petiod can be a pain for people with pollen allergy.
Do you gave any tip to share? Do you wear a mask? What kind? Anything to protect your eyes?

I take over the counter stuff year-round. Rhinocourt nasal spray keeps everything open and drained, and Allegra does a decent job with the rest. I used to use Claritin, but Allegra seems to work better.
It's supposedly good to rotate between antihistamines, as your body can get used to them, causing their effectiveness to lessen.
Using different medications that use different active ingredients can apparently alleviate this.
Oh that's interesting.
