What it seems like - specs in the rain -
but, no, this is a shot taken from my car driving up a rock cut one night in the rain. The camera was left on the B (open) setting for 1/2 minute on the dashboard.
Remember that old song - one line ends with
'I do not have my specs with me.'
Well, I wear specs, and it is often a problem while cycling.
If it's too bumpy, it's a real drag until my brain adjusts to my glasses also bumping up and down - like an out-of-focus camera - and I feel dizzy for the first few hours. It particularly bad at the beginning of each cycling year.
And if it's raining (since I don't have windshield wipers),
this, too, is a real drag. Visibility is truly limited then.
I was thinking about this today; thinking how can I work around it - the rain especially.
Sure, I'll ask at the bike shops when they re-open this year.
However, I was wondering if a long-peaked visor would work when it's raining hard. Perhaps I could find an old editor's visor.
Baseball caps have a peak but I find that they blow off all the time when cycling. Since I have the balaclava I told you about earlier, though, maybe a visor under the balaclava would work. Of course, if it's also very hot outside, wearing a fleece balaclava may be unbearably hot.
Perhaps I will find an alternative. Hope so. Any suggestions?
May the wind, and rain, always be at our backs.
Especially while cycling.
Karen.
