Hey y'all,

When not wearing my sunglasses, i wear a pair of safety glasses to protect my eyes.

I couldn't see spending the cash on clear glasses just for biking (i wear prescription glasses for distance, but can still get away w/o them), and my boyfriend had let me borrow a pair for a different project. I love them--much more protection than my sunglasses, but they're pretty cheap and light. ANd they're designed to save your eyes from dangerous high-speed objects. And even nice ones are only in the $10 range. And you can get clear or sunglasses ones.

Just so you don't think i'm going about wearing the things you used in high-school chem lab, here's a link:

but you could probably go see what they've got at your local working-person's supply store.

I've actually gotten complimented on my "cool biking glasses" by other bikers!

My other favorite item i've borrowed from the carpenters for bicycling are hard-hat lining caps. They are great in the winter and rain, cover your ears, water resistant, and are made to go under helmets. And they're also only $5!
