[RBW] Tip for riding in the rain with eye glasses...
One of my unstated goals for this year was to ride and commute even if it's raining. I'm overcoming a whole bunch of mental barriers and I'm mostly well equipped now to ride comfortably in the normal California rain. However, the one detail that keeps baffling me is what to do with my eye glasses. With light rain/showers, I don't mind the drops that accumulate slowly on them, but with heavier rain or prolongued showers, at some point it becomes hard to see anything that isn't distorted by water drops. How do you rain riders manage with this issue? Thanks for the tips! René -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Tip for riding in the rain with eye glasses...
When we started this conversation a few hours ago it wasn't raining. I'm just about ready to leave work for the day and yes, now it's been raining here since about the time we started talking about it. Sigh. I'm not really prepared. Normally that wouldn't bother me as headed home I don't really care how wet I get but...I'm am, of course, not going immediately home and am meeting some folks for coffee. I dashed over the big mart store across the street and got a cheap poncho, my pants are convertible and will be shorts in no time, I'm already wearing sandals and will lose the socks (gotta have 'em at work otherwise I'd lose 'em). And, as I have a bicycle cap I'll be pulling low down to my brow line and Voila! Ready for rain. Of course if it weren't in the 70's (which is actually cool for us here) it'd be a slightly different story - at least comfort-wise. [And here it is my Quickbeam's first day out after a cockpit change. Trial by water I suppose.] Aloha all!

I'll give all the tips a try. Funny how after this conversation it also started raining in San Jose and I rode my comute in the rain. I was prepared, though.

Re: [RBW] Tip for riding in the rain with eye glasses...
I look through rainy glasses. I ride at a speed I feel is safe for me with limited visibility. It is not much if any slower than my normal pace, either. I guess I just adapted to it, much like I learned to break earlier and not put on too much lean in wet weather. Fog is the real visibility killer. In times when that takes over my eyewear, I remove it.

[RBW] Tip for riding in the rain with eye glasses...
Probably not a reply that's going to be super-helpful, but I commute about 24 miles RT every day, all year long, in the Portland area. Needless to say, rain is a regular companion. And I'm blind as a bat without glasses/correction. I haven't found rain to be a huge nuisance so much as fog/mist. Rain tends to bead up run off, but those tiny droplets and the constant wiping are downright dangerous. 2 years ago, at age 50, I finally took the plunge into contacts after telling myself for years that my eyes wouldn't like them. Absolutely transformed my commuting. Now I wear clear cheap glasses (winter) or shades to keep my eyes from drying out too much, and when it's foggy/misty - I don't. Cycling was the BEST thing about going to contacts. As an aside, I was most worried about racing NW cyclocross (read: MUD) with contacts, but for the most part, with the same cheap cycling glasses, it has not been a problem. Definitely better than racing in my prescription glasses. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
