REAL Danger
In case you've forgotten my post on the GIANT danger that faces cyclists in the South of the USA, please note the photo below. I got UV damage last weekend and y'all saw my glove tan. USE IT!
Thanks for this super important PSA, Steve. I want to add 3 important things, if I may: 1) It is important to apply it frequently when you are out and about. Applying it just once before you head out is not enough. 2) One can get sunburned even on a cloudy day. 3) Even if you have darker skin, you can still get sun burned. 4) Long sleeved shirts may reduce sun damage.
I have started using sunscreen regularly this year. I look for the ones labelled with the new FDA "Broad Spectrum" wording.

Never ride without it during the summer months...even on the cloudy days....

Good point. Especially up here in Santa Fe or Los Alamos at 7000 feet.
