Being Prepared: Clear Sunglasses?

Slow and Tired: Clear sunglasses?:

"That might not make sense... unless you own a pair. Shields would be a better term. Basically, they are like sunglasses (usually non-prescription) with clear lenses. In the mountain biking world, I've often found them very useful. I've used them most on night rides in mud. If you've ever caught a glob of mud in the eye on a fast singletrack descent, you'll know just how useful they can be. Other obstacles that can ruin a ride include, but are not limited to: branches, dirt, dust, and bugs"

Clear Sunglasses/Eye Shields could be very useful when freeriding or downhilling... or in those buggy situations... or whatever you might come accross that poses trouble to the unpretected eye!

Biking In National Parks

IMBA Signs Breakthrough Agreement with National Park Service:

"For the first time, National Park Service leaders in Washington, D.C., have formally recognized mountain biking as a positive activity, compatible with the values of our National Park system."

I just came accross this (though it is as of May 2, 2005) I thought I'd pass it on in case you didn't hear of it before.

The IMBA and the National Park Service signed a 5 year agreement to allow mountain bikers access to trails in the National parks.

See the full article for specific details.

Isn't that exciting!
