I dig that we all want to be stylish to the best of our preferences and abilities but ask yourself one question PLEASE:
Are the temples of your glasses a blind spot?
That is, the part that runs from the hinge to over your ear. Does it reduce your peripheral vision?
I think this may apply to newer riders, but just in case, please consider this aspect of safety.
Thank you.
Why do you reference that cyclists mainly wear sunglasses for style?
The loss of peripheral vision is very, very minimal and no factor at all on my rides.
The main reason I wear glasses is to keep bugs and debris out of my eyes. Can't tell you how many times I ride past areas where homeowners and landscapers are using edgers and leafblowers.
