They are Cheap, they shield your eyes from the wind and the best part is they block the sun....

That glare on Lincoln, especially when wet, is definitely a drag. I fear for my behind, for some car to not see me!<br />

I too ride south on Lincoln every morning and sun glasses are essential.<br />
This morning I expected it to be cloudy so I wore my yellow glasses that actually make everything look brighter :(<br />
<br />
Also, Damen is hands down the best street in Chicago for crossing the city north to south.

Hey, I think I've seen you out there! I'm on a gray Rockhopper these days, w/blue cables.<br />
Anyway, i've come up w/a unique solution to the sun problem. I realized that a. the sun is in the same place for long periods of my ride b. sunglasses don't help because of the glare. I have velcro across the front of my helmet and a disk of black plastic about 3" in dia. w/velcro, and I put it exactly where the sun is hitting me.<br />

I've also been using alternate routes when the snow and ice are really bad, i'd rather deal with just the snow on a longer side street than sliding right next to the cars. Audience: Boo! Boo!
