Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Nope. Don't want them either. You have to be aware of the cars around you. Music tends to loose you from that reality. Not a good thing.

my wife bought me a pair last year for fathers day and ive ridden with them a number of times. they are comfortable, the lenses are polarized but maybe a bit to dark. the lenses also flip up so if you need to rub your eyes you dont have to take them off. its easy to upload music on them and the finger control are easy to use. you can use both earpieces or flip one away & only use one. one charge lasts almost six hours. they're pretty nice but i dont use them all the time.
