Ride To Work : The Solutions Part 8 - Cycling Eyewear

My Safety glasses MR Mark cost me RM10

If  you do a lot of commuting, there is one safety equipment that you should never be without: a pair of cycling glasses.I've been doing a lot of commuting...and all i can say about it is that it is important to wear a cycling glasses to protect your eyes from blowing wind, rain, flying debris, dirts, glass, insects, or anything else that gets kicked by the tire. For the past year i've been commuting, ive been stung by a bee (thank god its in the forehead fuh), bugs/insects in my eyes, dirts,glass,smoke.. can you imagine.. how would you react if something got stuck in your eyes while you are going downhill and you keep shutting your eyes. I've been through that situation before..  it freaks me out.. i almost hit by a car.

Cycling glasses such as Oakley, Rudy Project  is kinda expensive for me. For me a cheap solution for this is to buy a safety glasses from the hardware store.A little known secret in the construction and manufacturing world is that you can get an incredibly safe, stylish set of clear lens glasses for under RM10. That’s right…not $100, $74 or $43…under RM10. I bought mine MR Mark Brand cost me lest than RM10 and i've been using it until now. Mine is using clear lenses since im using it during night ride to the office

There are a variety of extremely cheap, comfortable safety glasses on the market that are perfect for mountain biking. It doesn't have any super techy features you are used to seeing on name brand riding glasses like polarization, photochromatic lens, etc., but what you will get is a highly safe and functional set of riding glasses that you do not have to worry about on a constant basis.But hey.., there are so cheap that you won't mind if they get stepped on, scratched, or lost :)

Till we meet again...

Ride safely.. and happy commuting.
