Towel on bike to wipe sweat

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Same for me but I cut it in half. The normal bandana is just too big for me.

I use a skull cap under my helmet but sometimes that just isn't enough so I carry a small face cloth. Typically I ride in cargo type shorts and keep it in my pocket or a jersey pocket if I happen to wear one.

There is a product that does exactly that. It is called the "No Sweat Ride Rag" and is available on Amazon. It is the perfect solution.

Even though the latest post here resurrecting this thread seems to be a blatant advert, this is an interesting question. I’ve found turning my head 90° looking at the ground and pushing on the front of the (Kask mojito) helmet can dump a lot of sweat and reduce the chances of it ending up near eyes.

Best done stopped or when at the back of the group and with shades hooked in the back of the jersey collar!

Surprised how much difference the design of the shades makes to how much ends up inside the lenses. Oakley Encoders hardly seem to get any.

Right now I am leaning towards attaching a retractable badge holder to my handlebar/top tube with the towel hopefully being light weight enough to just sit on there until I pull on it.
There is a product made just for that. It is available at riderag.com. it works quite well.
