Glasses on the bike are a good thing -- you're out in the world, get bugs and grit in your eyes while zipping along at high speed, UV rays in your eyes are another not so good thing, so it really is nice to have glasses on while biking.

I've been wearing my regular prescription glasses, but didn't like the coverage they gave, so recently decided to start wearing my contacts for riding, so I could pick up some "sport" sunglasses at the bike shop. This is better -- not quite sealed to my face, but not much wind in there to dry my eyes, and definitely no grit!

To keep to the mirror thing -- I've been using a "glasses mirror" this year, and I like it! It's easier to get adjusted the way I really wanted to have it sit on the new sunglasses than it is on my "regular" glasses.
