Sunscreen while cycling\n\nSunscreen is essential, but cycling adds a few challenges: sweat, wind, and reapplication friction.\n\n## What works best\n1. Apply 20 minutes before you ride\n2. Use SPF 50+ and don’t skimp\n3. Choose water/sweat resistant formulas\n4. Reapply at stops (cafe, servo, water refill)\n\n## Make it easier\n- Keep a small tube in your saddle bag\n- Use physical protection (sleeves, sunglasses, shade coverage) to reduce how much skin is exposed\n\n## Common mistakes\n- Only doing face + forgetting ears/neck\n- Thinking cloudy days are “safe”\n- Not reapplying after heavy sweat\n
