Funny, cycling is what induced me to abandon contact lenses after a short trial. Distance vision was magnificent, and I liked them well enough except for three things. At my age I completely lost my close vision and needed a bifocal reading glass with a planar top just to be able to see both the cycling computer and the road. So what was the point if I had to wear Rx glasses anyway. Then even with glasses over the contacts, one blew out on a windy ride never to be found. Bummer riding home with one ,not to mention the cost (that was before daily disposables). And finally when wearing spectacles, one pair was all I needed and they stayed on my face, photo-reactive bifocals for sun, shade and all purposes. When wearing contacts, I had to have reading glasses, sun glasses, safety glasses and on and on. My pockets were full of glasses. Wearing my regular specs was just easier.

As far as the sticking your fingers in your eyes, that is a non issue. It is not a problem.
