    Kiddies sunnies on a bike

    Years ago I grabbed a set of childs sunnies at a $2 shop as they didn't have anything else, turns out it was one of my best ever riding equipment purchase.

    The arms wouldn't reach my ears so when i went from a sunny to a dark space i could flick my head forward and ditch them in a split second, in time i'd flick my visor up and reset them, previously you'd be pretty much stuck with a period of time where you couldn't really see, worse in winter as those dark shady corners often have moisture.
    Today I stuffed up and grabbed a normal pair and hit the rimutakas on sunset and it reminded me how much superior the small set works.

    Has anyone else tried this, it's a game changer.

    I get kids frames for my regular specs as they are narrower and fit better in helmets whereas some full sized frames get caught up within the helmet lining and need re-adjusting to get the vision correct. Cheers.
    Sometimes you wish it was easier, but if it was, everyone else would do it, then you remember you don't want to be like everybody else!

    Its been a few years between bikes. I didnt wear glasse last time. Glasses are a pain. Very scary incident on Hutt Motorway .For some reason my glasses suddenly fogged up.Couldnt see a thing at first.Newish helmet and in a bit of panic i fumbled to get the visor up(it latches in the fully shut position) Finally I did.Looking over the very top of my glasses i could just see the lane markings to stay in lane. I like the sun shield visor not too dark.If it at all cool i treat my glasses before ride with antifog stuff
