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.
Blind spots happen with or without glasses, but yes, wearing glasses makes them worse. That's why you should shoulder check before every change of line whether riding, driving or walking.
Shoulder check before you get out of your bed; shoulder check before you get out of your chair; shoulder check before you get off the toilet; shoulder check before you walk into a room; shoulder check before you round a corner; shoulder check when you re cooking; shoulder check when you are mowing the lawn....shoulder check...shoulder check...shoulder check...always...everywhere, always. Make it a habit, a muscle memory thing.
And make good use of the eyes on the sides of your head too.
