  1. I read a post here many months ago mentioning that the
    safety glasses at Lowe's hardware (landscaper's model) make
    great cycling glasses. Well, after using them for as many
    months, I have to agree and pass on the tip. I have clear
    and tinted. They *are* plastic, so you need to take care
    when cleaning them. But then, at nine bucks a pair, it's no
    big thing to keep an extra pair ready.

    So, whoever that was ..... thanks. That was a great tip.
    (The tinted ones are UV blockers, too)

    (And I also agree that they *do* look good.)

    Integrity is obvious. The lack of it is common.

  2. Do these work over prescription glasses?

    Well, let me see.

    ... ... ... They fit over my reading glasses (the stems are
    adjustable - slide in and out). ... I'd say most likely.

    Lowe's also has the boxier looking kind with side panels
    that surely would, but the ones I'm talking about are wrap
    around - and actually rather ô¿Ô¬ stylish. (They look like
    the old Oakley's I remember.)
