Do You Really Need Cycling Glasses?

One of cycling's most famous riders from the 1980's, Sean Kelly, notably never wore sunglasses. However, today’s glasses technology means that cycling glasses do more than protect your eyes from harmful UV radiation. They do that, but they also protect your eyes, help you see (many are available with Rx), protect your from insects, rain, road debris kicked up by cars or other riders, and potential injury in the event of a crash. Along with your helmet, they are part of your cycling safety kit, so don’t leave home without them!
