I realise ther may be a more appropiate chat room for this but I needed to get my messgae out to as many people as possible as quick as possible.
I am doing my first long distance cycle. I am cycling 439 miles from London to Lands End on my own. I am starting on Thursday 6th July and I manage to crush my cycling glasses last night :eek:
Can anyone tell me where I can get some perscription sun glasses made in less than 2 weeks. My local shop said they take 6 weeks which obviously is no good.
I'm nervous about this bike ride as it is and now this has happend. I've also checked out the weather report and its supposed to be very hot and sunny that week 😎

Please help me someone.

You can buy clip-ons for your regular prescription glasses, but it probably isn't necessary. You will have the sun at your back for most of the time and a peaked cap is better protection for your eyes than sun-glasses anyway.
That is an idea, thanks. Ideally I'd like to get the glasses but if not I will take up your suggestion. Cant believe this has happend 2 weeks before.
Thanks for the reply.
LensCrafters has a few models of cycling sunglasses with inserts... limited selection but they were pretty good ones (Bolle or similar). You could also get non cycling specific sunglasses. Either option would be only one hour. And they can also fill the inserts if you buy the sunglasses somewhere else. You've got a lot of options.

[Rudy project sell clip on inserts for certain models in their range. just buy the sun glasses and appropriate inserts and have an optician fit lenses to the insert frames. It should only take a day or two.
