I'm looking to buy my first ever ever set of cycling glasses, everyones wearing them, even in the fog and rain?
Try Bollé safety glasses - I swiped a pack from work but are £6-8 on eBay. Nice not having to worry about scratching/breaking/losing expensive specs.
They are one of those things that non users fail to see the point of until you use them
Not a view shared by nearly every pro in the world.
They were popular when I started, but were worn sans helmet. Now more of a podium bit of kit.
Wonder why they died out on the pro-tour? (though I have seen pics of contador wearing one in the rain)
Most of the riders in my club wear them for practicle reasons though maybe not when racing (unless it's really shitty)

Scares the Jesus out of walkers when you jump out from behind a tree on a bridle way in the middle of no where
you need somewhere to keep your pork pie

Oi Brakes, thats not a cycling cap he's wearing, but he does make that baseball cap look small on his head!
m y god, I followed a roadie wearing that kit yesterday. He was a bit skinnier but couldn't shake a mountainbike off his wheel.
Well done you 8)
You are my freeride hero, keeping the roadie scum in the gutter where they belong.
Damn straight. Where they belong.
You were lucky that you weren't following me cos I would have dropped you swiftly .
Really?
Yup, an onlooker would have thought you were track standing.
It so smacks of "look at me, I know my road riding".
Rapha do them yes?
in the rain, practical, otherwise, guilty of trying too hard.
Looks silly but what cycle attire doesn't?
Are they still made from cotton? Makes ALL arguments for them retarded if so.
Looks silly but what cycle attire doesn't?
exactly.
I refuse to wear lyra shorts because of what they look like, but then I wear a cycling cap.
trying too hard? bog off, maybe you're just thinking too hard.
