Fuck fashion. The whole point of pointing your arse in the direction of the city is to get away from people because people are no damned good and the proof of that is that they pay more per litre for designer bottled water than they do for petrol and they buy designer sunglasses and wear "North Face" polar fleece around the shopping mall, all of which makes the horizon look pretty bloody good.

I have these and they dont fall off even while mountain biking.

There are plenty of stylish sunglasses that are designed for sports. Weyfarer's are not, although I do own a pair and love them for non-sports. I bought the Kaenon for the lenses and the fact that they are designed to function while being active & I also liked the design.

dadndave, I like your style. :)

You don't need new sunglasses (unless you want them).

Buy a pair of Croakies and you can continue to use your Wayfarers.

Since we are on the topic of French and fashion, I have a genuine WWII French Military issue rifle I would like to sell. It is in near perfect condition - never fired and only dropped once.

Anyone can recommend a good eye doc for putting prescriptions into my glacier glasses?
