My cheapo glasses solution: Safety Glasses!

When not wearing my sunglasses, i wear a pair of safety glasses to protect my eyes. I borrowed (and kept them) from my carpenter bf on a different project.

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). 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.Even nice ones are only in the $10 range.

You can get clear or sunglasses ones. I like how they curve around to fit my face. And i won't be too sad if i scratch them or break them, b/c of the price and availability. Some models are built for replaceable lenses if they do get scratched, or if you want to switch in your sunglasses lenses.

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 i'd advise going and trying some on at your local working-person's supply store.

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