Is it safe to wear them at night? I have a Skid Lid helmet so I have to wear glasses at all times but never tried my sunglasses cause I'm afraid I won't be able to see. Is it normal to wear sunglasses at night? I guess I've never really paid attention to other bikers who wear Skid Lid helmets.
Everybody at this Forum is very helpful and I'm glad I found this site.

BAD idea. Try taking a drive in your cage and put them on and see how little you can see. They make night riding glasses that have clear lenses.

No, do not wear sunglasses at night. Only Corey hart does that.
You can get clear glasses for wearing at night. Look in any place that sells sunglasses and you can find them. I get mine at a bicycle store.

I picked up a nice pair of clear riding glasses with a thin foam gasket to keep the wind out for $20 at my local bike shop.

Best movie line ever! And it was said by a Canadian, too.

I know Nike used to make a pair that had interchangeable lenses, clear ones for night time and tinted ones for the day time. This way you only have to have one pair, and can keep the extra lenses in your jacket or something....might try for somethign like that.

Lots of companeis do that. Native Eyewear, Adidas, Smith, Oakley, etc.
Just go to a bike shop and get a pair of clear glasses. Keep them in a fork bag or whatever. Works great.
