    There are sprays like rain x which makes the water run off very quickly once you're moving, anti fog sprays for the inside too. I've ridden in bad enough weather and all was grand, however my helmet also has pinlock which I an insert that stops fogging. Visor up is asking for a face full of water, even if only open a tad.

    Incidentally my oh used some of my anti fog spray on her glasses before going to Dunnes and her glasses stayed clear for the duration

    Anyone notice the marketing emails from the online retailers are becoming more personalised.

    Now its Clementine from Alltricks.......and John from Bike24. Maybe there's evidence that it produces more sales?

    Nothing like the personalised dear %first_name%%last_name% i got from a recruiter before.

    was wondering the other day, given that drizzle and rain and general road spray can be irritating on your glasses when cycling, what it's like on a motorbike with a helmey visor?
    Proper motorcycle gloves tend to have a leather or rubber palm on them.

    I found that I could use the long edge of my thumb down to my wrist to wipe across the visor in a single motion like a wiper blade and clear the visor very effectively.

    If it was really bad though (like super wet on the M50 bad), then I recall having to lift the visor and just keep distance. More often than not I'd take an alternative route in those cases as the spray on the motorway is insane.

    How do you access this list?
    And what does it mean?
    And is it the cycling forum or all fora?

    Looking at mine I'd say it's based mostly on 2015/16 posts on boards for some reason.

    My rather creative eldest daughter decided to knit herself a hi-viz to complete her bike shiek. Rapha eat your heart out.
