Do you wear a helmet? I ask not for the safety reason, though that is a good benefit, but because my helmet straps also help keep my glasses from sliding down my nose as well. The straps kind of comfortably hug the glasses to the side of my face/head. Myabe you could snug your helmet straps a bit to see if that helps, or if you don't wear a helmet, maybe start doing so to see if that will help, at the very least to help keep your glasses from sliding.

Have you ever tried riding a recumbent? If not then don't speak of something of which you know nothing about. Try it you may actually like it. Hell of a lot more comfortable then riding a wedgie & can be just as fast.
Sorry N_C, I honestly didn't mean to offend you. I thought you were having fun with me. My hats off to anyone riding a recumbent. Heck, I have a hard enough time balancing on a traditional bike
As for the helmet, I wouldn't dare ride without one. I have noticed that my straps tend to loosen during my rides, and I'm constantly having to tighten them. The helmet is a low end Schwinn model
I'm going to upgrade to something more ventilated,soon and hopefully the straps will be more adaquate.
Cheers
Mike
