Default Riding glasses secret revealed

I always wear glasses while riding to keep bugs out of my eyes. If
someone came up with a way to keep me from inhaling bugs then I'd be all
set.

The best source of glasses I've found is Home Depot. I've got a half
dozen pairs of glasses for different lighting conditions, all about $8
each. They're sold as safety glasses.

Cheap sunglasses rule!

Even expensively priced cheap sunglasses cause headaches. Cheap sunglasses
are cheap sunglasses.

I've used Home Depot sunglasses since 2001 and never had a headache or any
other problem. You're fooling yourself that spending a lot of money is
somehow better for you. I use what works.

Thick black frames and glass so dark they don't even know your name?

You have no idea what I use or what I have tried or how much they have cost.

Try breathing through your nose? Easier said than done, I know. It's
something I also have to work on during pollen season in the spring.

Another thing I've started doing recently is wearing a skull cap type
thing under my helmet to keep the wasps and bees from stinging.

Agreed.

=============================================

Sounds like a personal problem. I've never had sunglasses cause headaches.

Of course they are! ; )

But the best part is that if you pay over thirty dollars for
sunglasses, those will make you smarter! I paid ninety dollars for
sunglasses and am not only smarter, but my head feels so much better
than when I don't have them on - Just the opposite of headaches. My
educated friends say that's just placebo (expectancy) effect, but what
do they know?? Fools.

Sunglasses are to a large degree, along with eyeglass frames
(invariably overpriced many times beyond cost of manufacture), a
continual racket, one that sucks in many people.

I have many pairs, from dollar store ones (poor quality mostly and
into the trash can), to several Ray Ban G-15 glass lenses (nice) and
my favorites, polarized polycarbonate fishing glasses from WalMart,
ten dollars. Have never found better ones than these. No headaches
with any of them though.

Joe
