Personally wouldn't bother me, I'm more concerned about what's going on
in front than what's behind.
He was obviously suffering, I don't know many roadies that would be seen
in the wind shadow of an MTB! Well done you!

That's only my opinion, I would think most would differ.

If I'm going to do a snot blast, I always try to make sure I'm as close to
the road as possible, and aiming directly downwards.

I have this vision of you doing one of those horse/rider stunts where
the rider hangs off the saddle way to one side to scoop something off
the floor or using the horse as a shield.

I also have a memory of, as a child, doing exactly that. Probably after
watching a Western. I recall it being a painful learning experience.

Nothing more beautiful than flying snot on an early morning, backlit by
the sun.
