Do I have to buy a pair of $100+ glasses to safely bike?

My heart, wallet, and brain say no but this piece of dirt still lodged underneath my lower eyelid says yes

No, you can get safety glasses from a hardware store for a couple of bucks instead.

No, as long as the glasses have protection against UV they are good. Mine cost 15eur. 100dollars glasses protect the same, but maybe they are marginally more comfortable and maybe they are photochromatic lenses or unbreakable ones in case you crash

Slowfags detected. UV protection isn't the issue. Wind protection is. If you go much more than 25mph or so, wind will flow around the edges of normal glasses and into your eyes. As you go faster, it starts to blind you. Dirt and bugs are also a problem. Long term, the wind can cause damage to the eyes.

No, but generally they're comfier and the optics are better. Protip: look up a model you like, shop the frame on eBay, and get the lens from the manufacturer.

I've never understood how people can ride without glasses or goggles.

If I'm not wearing eye protection of some sort I'm basically blind at the speeds I start to have fun.

I didn't said anything about riding without eyewear, just saying you don't need to spend a lot on it and it must be UV protected or the eyes can suffer.
I always wear them because bugs are a problem,once it was cloudy, so I put on my pocket the glasses, and later on the ride a fucking bug crashed into my eye and I had to stop because my eye couldn't open and my other eye started tearing, so I stopped asap.Since then I also have a transparent googles, I may look like an idiot, but they are fine if there are shadows on the ride or if it's cloudy.

Yeah, in fact ski goggles and helmets are good for winter riding, but their coatings are pretty fragile so they'll get scratched up more easily. Wouldn't wear them for city riding or outside of winter tho.
>>1487980
Those are good, so are whatever aliexpress shit you can dig up. So long as they protect against UV and wind and don't fuck with your vision or fog up, there's no need to pay for Pete Sagan's divorce settlement. Unfortunately I had to splash out for Rudy Project Rydon glasses because I need the prescription insert. Contacts won't correct my vision problems so I have to spend retarded amounts of money on eyewear. They suck so much dick when it rains.

i wear a giro aerohead helmet with the visor. the wind noise is a big one for me, my tinnitus got worse even from riding a granny bike without a helmet on. the weather protection is awesome because it's cold most of the year here. i can ride fast as fuck and be as comfortable as if i'm playing a video game or something. i'm aware that some people think my helmet choice is cringe but i don't give a fuck and i ride a track bike so it sort of goes with it anyway. on a road bike you should be wearing a helmet and proper glasses and that looks pretty cringe too where i'm from but just be who you want to be you can wear lycra too and shave your legs it's a free country.

1st pair either fell out or stolen from my dad’s car, second pair fell off when I was climbing a mountain, went back for them where someone behind me saw them and they weren’t there, third pair fell off during a mtb race, took them off and folded them over on my hydration pack while I was climbing and then it got Into a short rocky descent
and they fell off.

Pic related would have helped but that’s all in the past.
