    I have decided I need new sunglasses, and would like them to be useful
    on the bike. I am also a hay fever sufferer so a close fitwould be
    good for that too.

    I was thinking of Oakleys, but I am long sighted with a +3.5/+3.75
    prescription. Oakleys have a max of a +2 prescription.

    I am not too keen on the ideas of either contacts or lasers...

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    I have Rudy Project glasses that work well for me. I believer they take
    prescription inserts up to +4. Their site says nothing about
    shatterproofness, though, which kind of worries me ... anyone have any
    knowledge of whether Rudy Projects will hold up in a crash, or splinter
    into your eye?

    I crashed big time yesterday with them on. Not even a scratch on the lens!

    Nope. Head first over the bars and into a tree. Glasses came flying off
    and hit the boulder next to me.

    Well, as they say in the flying world - any landing you can walk away from is a
    good landing...

    though. :-)

    I suggest you enter the Second Annual AMB Poetry Contest when it rolls
