Yes absolutely sunscreen whenever I am spending an extended period in the sun. I am also a cyclist, and skin caner is the number one threat.

I just tried a bunch of sunscreens and use what I like. The fact that you apply it is more important than which brand you get. The only strategy is that there is something better than sunscreen, and that's covering up with a physical barrier. For example nowadays I keep my shirt on at the beach except for the time when I'm actually in the water. I also cover my bald head with a hat.

If you care, dermatologists suggest applying sunscreen every single day. Even if sun exposure will be minimal. This will keep your skin looking younger longer. There is still skin damage from UV even if it's not cancer.
