He can drive and his vision is gradually fading in the left eye.

I would guess that a busy commute is no place for a one-eyed person to learn. I see lots of two-eyed people in London learning to ride during their commute and they are a hazard to themselves. There is a lot to be said for a couple of lessons or a buddy system until the rider knows how to handle themselves in traffic.
Well 2 years ago, we both talked about our commuting route. Then the other day, he saw the cycling shoes and mentioned that he doesn't ride or exercise unless he *has* to. Big surprise to me because he's got a pretty nice mountain bike and he's moved closer to the office.
He had to cover the left eye for our entire meeting apparently to focus out of the right eye. With 5 people discussing stuff in a conference room it was pretty hard for him. I wondered because he has to cover one eye it'd be pretty hard to bike.
