  20. Sunglasses or eye protection is a good idea (eyedea?) because it is really hard to see through a bug that's smashed into your eye at high speed.Though, truth be told, I don't wear sunglasses when I ride in Nisene Marks, too dark to see properly and those sideways roots are sneaky!

  23. not only should you wear glasses to keep the crap the buss blows up when it passes you with 3 inches to spare i think that our poor lawmakes should make it manditory that cyclists wear glasses.

  26. I took my glasses off one time because they were steaming up when I was climbing. On the following downhill I forgot to put them back on. The guy in front of me bumped a tree which caused a dry branch to drop to my head level. The branch hit my eye socket and missed my eye by a few mm. Had my head been an inch to the left it would have stabbed me through the eye socket. The glasses would have deflected the branch and saved my eye.A picture of the carnage: Stick to the eyeNow I always wear glasses when I'm riding.

  29. I ride year-round, and I can assure you that it is nearly impossible to keep your eyes open while moving >25mph while it's snowing if you don't have eye protection. Ice pellets are even worse, and usually warranted goggles.Precipitation should be called "eye protection awareness periods."andy at ithacacarshare dot org

  33. My best friend, Doctor Walter Crankset, wears those same chrome lenses the Highway Patrol uses. He says that the metallic coating, when coupled with the aluminum foil lining his helmet, is quite effective at preventing the effects of those illegal government mind control waves.I gotta get me some of them glasses.
