Cycling Eyewear: Perfect Gear for Biking
Posted by The Eyeglasses Guy on July 15, 2008 · 2 Comments
Don’t forget the right eyegear. Cyclists need and want eyewear with all the bells and whistles. Eyewear that protects them from wind and debris . . . that’s extremely lightweight and comfortable and keeps them at peak performance in all conditions. And they love a sleek, streamlined design that’s as aerodynamic as their helmets and bikes – a design that makes them look cool and see even better.
WHAT BIKERS NEED IN THEIR EYEWEAR
* Shatterproof, scratch-resistant lenses
* Excellent peripheral vision
* Enhanced vision in all light conditions (interchangeable lenses: yellow and amber are ideal for low light situations)
* RX adaptability
* Venting/anti-fog systems
* Head-hugging design that fits comfortably with helmets

I am an avid cyclist. I ride long distances and need to be able to read a detailed route sheet as I ride. I need glasses to read the route sheet. My options appear to be:
1. A stanard pair of glasses with a progressive lens.
2. Wrap around cycling glasses with a clip on progressive lens.
Are there other options – what do you recommend?
Cheers,
Mark
A standard bifocal (multifocal)would be the only other option. You need at least two different powers or plano (no correction) with the near correction all at once. There are no other options unless you want to constantly switch between glasses.
