i dont see why not... just dont spray the bars and touch your face after a ride...
or spray the 6 month protection spray around the bike....

Well I was going to spray it now before I go for a ride, then hose it down (maybe even wash it) then when I get back spray it with surface spray lightly
Could be dangerous if a couple of big spiders hopped out when I was riding or something too lol ..

Not that I know definatively one way or the other but Id be hesitant to spray anything on my bike, car etc that wasn't designed for it. Just spray on the floor nearby... If you really have to, spray on a piece of cardboard or plastic then leave this sitting on the bike avoiding any direct contact of the spray to the bike.

why doesnt a bike cover solve the problem at hand??

if u want to get rid of cobwebs before u ride either wash it or just get a rag ...

then tonight put a bike cover on...

if u totally want to stop spiders gettting to your bike then i suppose you could get a full cover or something similar...i have cobwebs on my bike sometimes but have never found a spider...
