I wear the kit.... as part of the recreational cycling fun. Sunglasses and clipped in shoes included. However... the legs remain hairy
and I keep a bike with toe clips too.
-- my sight has been mostly gone since I was about 10. I've been just on the good side of legally blind most of my life.
-- I'm part alien ... at least that's what my father who is all, or mostly, alien claims.
(yes ... joking ... we think ...)
-- in thinking about it, I have spent several years using glasses with transition lenses, so they've got some sun protection. I am awaiting another pair right now which should be ready sometime this week. And I wear a helmet. For a lot of years, it was a helmet with a visor which shaded my eyes. I don't think my current helmet has a visor, but how often do I get to ride in sunshine ... maybe once a week?
