Securing glasses

    My glasses tend to slip down my nose when I'm on a low position on the bike.
    Any on-line source for good straps to keep them up/back?

    Buy better glasses. Cheap ones slip from sweat. Used to really annoy me until I invested in a decent pair, no more slippage.

    Surely you are not saying that the Aldi and Lidl glasses are inferior???

    I echo this - the importance as well of proper shatter proof lenses. I still have the scars of getting "prototype" Rudys from CSS.

    They are not cheap - they are bi-foculs and came from the US. But thanks for the advice anyway.

    Then you need to look at changing/fixing the nose clips and grippers on the arms.

    Are they sunglasses or specs?

    These are probably the thing you need to look out for http://store.croakies.com/croakies.aspx

    Fix and tighten the grip on the arms and nose clips

    Thanks - that's the type of thing I'm looking for.
    They are just ordinary glasses with interchangeable lenses, but they have a little bi-focal magnifier piece at the bottom. I'm a cyclist and find these handy to read phone, use money, read the computer etc.
    I want the retainer for a more extreme Time Trial position I'm trying to shoehorn myself into - they tend to slip down in that position.
    I know, I could spend a lot on better ones but don't want to do that .
