However, the glasses would fog up every time I stopped at a traffic light. Do I really need to invest in good riding glasses to stop my whining?
Possibly, if it's a problem. I never have, BUT you don't see as clearly through the safety glasses and cheap sunglasses and there are other worthy qualities of good sunglasses which would be my motivation if I did buy some good ones.
I read about an old anti-fog trick and tested it out on my bathroom mirror: let a dilute solution of vinegar dry on the surface. I smeared some on a square foot area, and left it there for months. It works, somewhat, but not well enough to temp me to dose my sunglasses. But you can try it, and there are some commercial products that purport to do the same thing.
