Trouble reading tiny computer info?
I went through a time of not being able to read the smaller info on my bike computer. I don't use prescription glasses, I use readers for seeing close work and (duh) reading, but wearing them while riding was "out". I wear sunglasses while on the bike. I tried to think of some way to make the small computer info readable, like mounting a small magnifying glass over the display, etc.
Then one day I started searching the 'net for some glasses that would do the job and found something that works for me. I found that there are sunglasses with readers built in. What a "EUREKA!" moment for me! Here's a link to one model as an example. I'm probably the last person on the planet to discover reader sunglasses, but if I'm not, maybe this info will help someone else. Using these sunglasses has made cycling much more enjoyable; I don't have to guess what my computer is telling me anymore!! :lol: |
I bought a pair of those from Duluth Trading Co. for the same thing, to see my Garmin Edge 200. They work like a champ, and they are really safety glasses too. I took a monster bug in the eye at 30mph or so (on a Vespa motor scooter) with no ill effects other than a real stinky mess on my cheek.

I've used these (and similar) for years.
For a (probably) bigger selection, go to http://safetyglassesusa.com/ (veteran owned and operated). Excellent service, fast delivery, and cheap as hell... |
you could also try wrap around safety glasses with bifocals on ebay.
|
OP, you are just the most recent person to make this discovery. Congratulations! And SafetyglassesUSA is an excellent site.
|
I agree that safetyglassesusa looks like a great place to buy; the selection is great!
|
stick-on bifocal patches work well for me.
