Shades

Abstract Thursday: Sporting Equipment

Cycling glasses worn when off the bike are a bit of an acquired taste.  Personally I think it is very difficult for most people to look even slightly cool when wearing cycling kit off the bike.  On the bike is a completely different matter of course!

If you have ever cycled a long distance then you know that a set of good eyewear is an essential piece of safety kit, not least to stop you getting flies etc in your eyes.  If it is sunny then they will also offer protection from the UV in summer.  Clear lenses work well in the dark, or when its raining - rain hurts if it hits you in the eye when you are cycling at a reasonable speed.  Tinted yellow lenses help improve contrast on shady days.  

These Oakley cycling glasses allow you to change the lenses to suit the conditions.  There were several different sets of lenses here when I started, but by the time I had finishing playing with the shot in Affinity you would be hard pressed to tell!
