Lots of bikers wear some type of eyewear while biking. While this is a great idea, some considerations need to be made when selecting the appropriate eyewear for you. Listed below are a few things to keep in mind:

• Select a pair of glasses that are shatterproof.
• Select glasses that offer protection to your eyes from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays.
• Make sure the glasses fit snugly to your face.
• Look for glasses with a yellow tint. These allow for better viewing when riding at dusk, when shadows are typically present.
• Avoid dark lenses. These make locating obstacles more difficult on wooded trails.

I’ve been riding with a pair Oakley’s for about 6 years now and I must say they have far exceeded my expectations.

Do you use eyewear when riding? If so, what types?
