In my opinion, short-sighted people probably should wear their glasses for cycling to maximise the visual warning we get of the shoot that others do, but as far as I know, you're allowed to cycle without them, at your own risk. I'm pretty sure I cycled without wearing my glasses for a while after my eyesight fell below legal driving standard - it would be a bit dicey at my current prescription, though (something near -4 I think, if that makes sense).
How clearly can you see without? Do you wear glasses day to day or just for driving? Are you able to go about your daily business safely without?
I do wear glasses during the day, but it's not too drastic if I forget them
On (a few very rare) occasions when it's raining very hard I do sometimes ride without specs, because that gives marginally better vision than riding with very soggy glasses.
Alternatively, apparently midges and mosquitos are not fond of gin. If you drink a lot of that you should be fine
Ha ha - I doubt that! Maybe it is based on getting too p****d to notice the bites...Alternatively, apparently midges and mosquitos are not fond of gin. If you drink a lot of that you should be fine
It is actually true. I learned it from the Sine curator of flies (and Dave Gorman who raised it) at the Natural History Museum on the Infinite Monkey Cage - Series 24 Bats vs Flies. Definitely true for Mosquitos anyway, so I imagine it's worth a try on midges!Ha ha - I doubt that! Maybe it is based on getting too p****d to notice the bites...
