Cycling glasses at dusk

[helston90]

What do people tend to do when riding at dusk about their cycling glasses?
I set out it was lovely daylight, definitely sunglasses weather, then sun set I needed the dark lens to stop the sun in my eyes, but a few miles later it had set and I was struggling to see and ended up stuffing them in my jersey pocket for last 6/7 miles.
Do people carry more than one pair? bother swapping lenses to clear ones mid ride? take them off and suffer the flies/ midges? or keep them on and cycle basically blind?

Transition lenses for me.
Though I did used to take different colour lenses with me. They don't take up much space in a jersey pocket

'Reactions' lenses. Been using them for years in prescription Oakleys. Never go out on the bike without them.

I always wear yellow lenses, I've never felt the need to wear anything darker.

I take spare lenses with me. They are only small and I just wrap them in a kitchen towel and I have a tinsy drawstring bag for them that a pair of earrings came in. Perfect size.

Try yellow lens safety glasses - screwfix ??, I use them for fly fishing as well, they work a treat

Just got some photochromics that start from clear. Wearing them for the first time was one of those "where have you been all my life?" moments.

I picked up a pair of clear glasses from Decathlon for about £7. They do the job!

I never used to wear glasses on the bike, but then I got hit straight in the eye by a bee at 25mph. Now I never do quick rides without them!

I wear shades but only when it's a sunny day. I find visibility is decreased on cloudy days wearing them,so then i wear clear eye protection. If it's a sunny evening i'll wear a visor on my helmet to block out the setting sun.

Take em off then..

... And two minutes later get hit in the eye by any of the night fauna
