So there it is…
Since the turn of the century I have had more pairs of sunglasses for cycling than I have had bikes.
I suppose we all have our weaknesses.
My obsession started as I started watching the sport in the late 1980’s. I saved hard with paper round money for a pair of the original Bolle micro edge. Maybe its part of a mid-life crisis that I am returning to that brand after all this time!
My first Oakley’s came in 1994 with some M-frames that I used up until I had my bad back injury in 1999.
When I started riding seriously again in 2004 I seemed to start regularly collecting glasses whilst trading them online so I could keep my wardrobe looking fresh!
I will try and hide this post from my wife…
Don’t tell her please.
