Note to self...don't put glasses in dirty cycling jersey and wash for 90 mins at 40 degrees....

So i'm after a new pair, preferably with interchangeable lenses. Any recommendations, thanks.

Oakley Radars if you'll be more careful in future, otherwise cheapy DHB ones from Wiggle. I have both and the Radars (even the unvented lens) suffer from misting a lot less but it's up to you whether that's worth paying £100 extra for.

I buy the cheapest I can find. I usually clear through a couple of pairs a year what with me driving away from a ride with them on the roof of the car, getting them chipped by rocks or, most recently, running over them with my bike after fixing a broken chain.

If you are after some Bloc Shifters, let me know, about to put some on the Classifieds...

My oakleys went through a full wash cycle and only suffered a small lens scratch and some paint loss on the frames.

The mobile wasn't so lucky....

I have some of these (i think - their website is confusing!) that I got for a £10... They work fine and it doesn't matter when I lose them!

Our centres issue Uvex work glasses with helmets and gloves now for MTB rides - they buy them at 99p a pop from workwear/safety retailers. Tried them myself a couple of weeks back and not as bad you might think.
