I'm seeking input on a guard or deflector for the front of my bike.
There will be a web across the trail with a large black and yellow Garden Spider in the center. They are just now increasing in size and population. By late August/September there will be a web every 20-30 foot on the trail. The spiders wil be up to 2" in length. They look a little bigger than that when they are on your glasses climbing up into your helmet

I've been thinking of a forward firing flamethrower, or maybe a badminton racket mounted in front of the handlebar, possibly a powerfull blower to blow them away just before impact, maybe a beekeepers hat and net?
When riding in groups we generally put the fastest guy out front. This time of year, we'll spend 20 minutes arguing about how slow we've become all of a sudden....
Any and all suggestion welcome.
