Cycling Sunglasses – Perfect for on and off your Bike

Cycling sunglasses are practical on a number of levels; they protect your eyes from not only increased airflow, but also UV rays, debris and flying insects.

Unlike other sports, cycling has very few accessories that can be worn when you’re not on your bike. Footballers are able to wear their shirts away from the pitch, but I don’t suppose there are many cyclists who would wear a cycling jersey, or cycling shorts for a trip to the shops! Cycling sunglasses are pretty much the only cycling accessory you can comfortably get away with wearing when you’re not on your bike.

With so many different types of cycling sunglasses available, choosing the right pair can be a daunting task and you’ll be asking yourself all kinds of questions such as which colour lenses do I want? Which cycling sunglasses would suit me best? Which cycling sunglasses brand do I want to be seen wearing?

Luckily, Sports Shades Online have made it easy by placing all of the cycling sunglasses together in one place so you can see everything available from the top cycling sunglasses brands, Adidas and Oakley.

In a relatively short time, Oakley have become one of the world’s leading cycling sunglasses brands. Oakley have a wide range of cycling sunglasses for you to choose from including Oakley Flak Jacket sunglasses, Oakley Jawbone sunglasses, Oakley M Frame sunglasses and many more.

There are many variations of the Oakley Flak Jacket sunglasses available including the Livestrong Flak Jacket special edition cycling sunglasses. The Oakley Flak Jacket Livestrong sunglasses feature Lance Armstrong’s favourite Black Iridium lens which cuts down glare and balances light in bright sunlight as well as repelling water and dirt thanks to Oakley’s hydrophobic coating.

Also available in Oakley’s Livestrong special edition range is the Oakley M Frame Hybrid S model. Decked out in the Lance Armstrong Foundation colours, the interchangeable lens design of M Frame Hybrid S gives excellent protection from sun, wind and side impact. As with the Livestrong Flak Jacket sunglasses, the Livestrong M Frame Hybrid S sunglasses also feature Black Iridium lenses.

Sports Shades Online are Adidas S.V.S. Approved Sports Vision Specialists and the range of Adidas cycling sunglasses available includes Adidas Agilis sunglasses, Adidas Burna cycling goggles, Adidas Evil Eye Pro sunglasses and many more.

Adidas Evil Eye Pro sunglasses include polycarbonate antifog lenses, which means no more steaming up, and are helmet compatible. The Evil Eye Pro lenses are interchangeable so you can adapt to virtually any light condition.

Adidas Agilis sunglasses are ideal for a variety of sports but these multi award winning sunglasses are particularly suited to cycling and mountain biking. These cycling sunglasses feature traction grip, tri-fit quick release temples which click into three different positions so you can click away until you get the fit that is right for you.

If you wear prescription sunglasses there are many options available including direct glazing or prescription inserts for many of the cycling sunglasses available from Sports Shades Online.

With a pair of cycling sunglasses on, you will feel less fatigued, eye strain will be minimised and your cycling session so much more enjoyable than without them.

What To Do About Bicycle Storage by James Steele

A question that is often asked is what to do about bicycle storage. As it gets more and more expensive for a person to have a car and drive, many people have been changing to riding a bicycle to work and on short distances. Now this creates a problem as to where to store all of these bicycles so let us take a moment and look at some solutions for bike storage.

The first place we need to look at bicycle storage is for the garage. There are several different ways for us to be able to store our bikes these days. Garage bicycle storage can be done by the use of a pulley system to hang your bike from the ceiling. This still allows plenty of space underneath so that you can park your cars or have other storage set up.

The important thing about a pulley system is to make sure that the anchors are well secured in the ceiling so that your bike will not fall down.

Another garage storage solution for bikes is a garage rack that can be used to hang your bicycle from. These racks usually have a wide base to keep the rack balanced and allow you to hang two or more bicycles near a wall as well as have pegs to hang your helmets or any other bicycle gear that you need to keep together. These can be great as they do not require any installation skills.

Another bicycle storage method can be the bike racks like we used when we were kids at school. These are long metal racks that are placed on the outside of your home or business and allow you to tie up multiple bicycles by the use of chains and U locks. These types of bike racks are ideal for businesses as well as parks and other public areas. They allow everyone to safely and securely store their bike without taking up too much space. This way everything is consolidated into one safe area and allows people who ride bikes to work in public locations a good solution for their storage.

Without public bike racks, people would have to use lamp post, park benches, and other features not designed to secure the bike. This leads to two problems. First the bikes are not very safe because the items they are using to store the bike were not designed for bike chains and proper security. Also you can create a very scattered and ugly look to the public area if bikes are strewn out all over the place and chained to random objects.

As you can see bicycle storage can sometimes be difficult, but it is an important to plan how to properly store a bike with so many new people deciding not to drive anymore, or at the very least let us. A bike storage rack can be a great garage storage solution for the home, while bike racks are great or business and public areas.
