Funny enough my wife bought a lovely little device. it looks like a tennis racket but it carries an electrical charge and zaps all flying insects at high voltage, cost €5, runs on 2 aa batteries!. pity noone cant adapt the design for a visor . Personally I've never been stung have had bees in helmet and managed to get off road quickly but by doing so could probably have killed myself in the panic!

I couldn't just let the bugger sting me so i was all over the place ducking and diving until i got the bike stopped. then it was run round the side of the road like a headless chicken until i got my helmet off and the said nasty bugger away from me lol oh and this all happened when i had no bike control cos it was only about my 3rd bike lesson lol everyone else that was there thought i was a lunatic. mind u they mightbe right but thats a different story.
