Show us your biking scars!

I'm with you - my eyes are too valuable to me to risk riding without some protection. They are always covered with glasses when I'm out on my bike, clear lenses in low light - but lenses that still have UV protection.

Let me clarify something here: I said I'd never wear glasses on the bike and I put it badly, because I meant prescription lenses - I too wear sun glasses and Sliders with clear or yellow lenses - but there was something about waking up laying on the ground after my first major crash, with an ambulance, paramedics, and a crowd surrounding me and not being able to see anything clearly because my glasses had broken when they hit my nose that was really frightening. No matter how early I get up to ride these days, I'll always put my contacts in. I never want to be in that situation again.

Now, back to scars ...
