Ask BikePortland: How do I see clearly in the rain?
Posted by Jonathan Maus (Publisher/Editor) on February 23rd, 2010 at 12:42 pm
Today’s question comes from Matthew Bowers:
“I commute about 3 miles to work (and back, obviously) 5-6 days a week, and I wear glasses. This becomes an issue when it’s raining, and was wondering what other glasses-wearing riders do about it. I asked the gentleman at my local bike shop, and he didn’t really have any useful suggestions — so I turn to you!
I know they have prescription goggles, but I was really hoping for a slightly less expensive alternative — something I can wear over my glasses, perhaps? Please help!”
I don’t wear glasses (yet), so hopefully some of you have suggestions for Matthew.
