But I do want to share a tool that's made life a whole lot more pleasant for me (and made a trip to L.A. *possible*).
I gain no financial reward from mentioning the excellent, easy-breathing masks from
http://www.icanbreathe.com
The silk "comfort mask" is just the ticket for riding on pollen-heavy days, or dusty roads. The honeycomb mask uses disposable charcoal filters -- excellent for airplane travel and the theater (which is the nadir of perfumes and colognes). Unfortunately, no local vendors but you can buy from the website.
I also want to second Robbie's experience: even when I have a cold + pollenitis, vigorous exercise (in the pool, in my case) helps me breathe easier.

As someone with exercise-induced asthma, biking on such a day should be bad news for me. Yet I have found that regular exercise improves my condition overall. I have far fewer asthma symptoms when I'm in good shape, and as I bike, my symptoms subside as my body gears up for the exertion.
