    On my way down to Welly I went through kms of fog - my visor was misted up inside and out, and so were my glasses!! Couldn't see a damn thing, the arseholes in cages behind me were sticking to my rear tyre like glue and there was no where to pull over for quite a way to let the bastards past.

    Yep! That's normally the case. Cagers are like sheep - if they get lost in the fog they latch onto something that looks like it's going somewhere and stick to it like shyte to a boarding-house blanket.

    I rode into the fog coming into Hamilton, and fogged up visor and glasses, slipped my glasses off while I was in a slow stream of traffic - at least I could now navigate - and a lens popped out and landed on the road. It was run over twice by the time I was able to stop the bike in the cycle lane and dodge the traffic to retrieve it. It's a plastic lens so it didn't break, just scratched. Still got pits in my lens because I can't afford to get it replaced.
