Tip for spectacle wearers !

kingrollo

With the current persistent drizzly rain likely to continue - a good tip if you wear spectacles in to wear a baseball cap (or something else with a peak) under your helmet - this does a great job of keeping rain of your specs !

Would a bowler hat do?

Thanks - a cycling cap with a small peak is also good.

A Wiggle parcel is imminent, courtesy of my Christmas vouchers. One of it's several components is a Castelli winter hat with the aforementioned peak. A Gabba for my head if the marketing bollox is to be believed:D

ETA: It's arrived! No Haribo!

Also, while we're on glasses, put some of whatever is the correct glue, on your screws to stop

them falling apart mid ride. The vibration will always work them loose.

If you are riding a bike you don't need to wear glasses. :?
edit -other than cycling glasses

And how do you arrive at that conclusion? Do you mean shouldn't wear glasses perhaps?

With -5 prescription Id be pretty lethal without my specs when cycling.

My helmet had this sun visor I was particularly drawn to - removable, but it came in really handy since I wear prescription glasses as well (they are Oakleys, mind you). Anyhow, something must have happened to the helmet, or rather someone did something to it, as the visor was cracked in half one time I went for a ride, so now the sun's in my eyes all the time.
I had half a mind of taking it off before, but not that it's gone I'm really starting to miss it.

I use contact lenses when out on the bike. Means I can use sunglasses, or not.

I purchased Oakley sunglasses with reactor light lenses. They are fine in the dark and bright sunshine.

I can't stand the though of getting my actual glasses covered in sweat and crap from cycling.
