No poll.

Goatheads ruin tires and tubes. Mosquitoes just plain suck.

Bed bugs from the movie theater are almost as bad as catching the flu from flying.

Goatheads.  I'm blessed by a solid immunity from mosquitos, though.

Goatheads, no contest. There's no such thing as Deep Woods Goathead Off.

Skeeters. I wear shoes so goatheads are a non issue.

Goatheads and Mozzies are tied for second.

We see goat-head flats all the time. It's amazing that so many people don't know what they are. "Thorns? How do we avoid them?"

Don't ride your bike outside.

I didn't even know what a goathead was, and we have mosquitos the size of morning doves up here. So mosquitos easily

In the Houston area the obvious answer is Mosquitoes.

Had to look up what a goathead is.

Mosquitoes for sure. Have not cared about goatheads since I was a kid and rode bicycles.

I'm in the same boat, no clue what goatheads are. Looks like a plant of some kind?

Mosquitoes are far worse than any plant here.

For flying, greenheads and horse flies. I swear horse flies wait for you to pop up out of the water just so they can sneak attack and land on your head to bite you knowing your arms are under water and you can't swat them.

A.  Dugast tubulars are really a pain to repair.

My SO was sponsored by Challenge. I have a bunch but fucking flats suck. I threw 4 tires in the rubbish bin. No way to patch them. They were fucked up.

Nor Cal trails end of summer. I train on clinchers.

Sticker.  Sticker burr.

Meh.  Just wear shoes and jeans.   Problem solved.

Mosquitoes fucking suck tho.  Almost no matter what you do.

The only preventative is DEET, which burns.

You know it, man.

Who was the dipshit that threw solvent into the pit buckets at Portland CX Nats years ago?  A shitload of tires were ruined.

Never had any encounters with goatheads that I can remember.

I rarely see mosquitoes where I live now but grew up in an area infested with them.

It would make going outside at night nearly unbearable.

Chiggers are in a whole different category and are likely spawn of the devil.

Never heard of a goathead, we have sand spurs here

I'd say mosquitos are worse and these bastards.

no matter how well I clean the garage after dove season, my bare feet always find the one goat head that managed to slip through my defenses.

I had to google goatheads, I've never seen them in Missouri.  But we have a planned RV trip out west in the fall so I'll know what those evil things are when I step on one!

We don’t have Goatheads here in NH, but they’ve been used in warfare to deny terrain to barefoot soldiers.  My father said the Hungarians have used it against their enemies.  It’s called Királydinnye.

I bought some seeds last year but couldn’t get them to germinate.  I am going to try again this year.

Early Fall in the Bay Area. Absolutely.

I would race on clinchers early season. The tubulars would not be ridden until it rained a bit.

I lost many races due to pinch flats and goat heads. You have been there and done that.

Fuck no dude, WTF is wrong with you?  These things are horrible, and common in this part of the world, and you live in a place that apparently doesn't have them.  The fuck, are you going to raise piranhas to release in local lakes too?  You're going to introduce a fucking awful plant that grows fast and makes horrible, tire-poking, foot-mauling, dog-wounding, awful awful poky bastard seeds.   Did you know they are part of the caltrop family?  Must be a reason, right?
Fuck no!  Just no.  Jesus Christ on a fucking pogo stick.  Motherfucker.

When I lived in the Panhandle we had grass burrs and goat heads.  Now in South Texas everything has thorns.  Mosquitoes dont bother me but flat tires on a vehicle piss me off.
