Now that your eyes are comfortable, you’ll need to make sure the rest of your setup also works in your favour. First off, pick the right helmet for you: one that is sturdy, lightweight and ventilated, and that you actually want to wear as well. Odds are, if you don’t like the way a helmet looks or fits, you’ll be more reluctant to wear it. Another big benefit you get when wearing your contact lenses and cycling is that they make wearing a face mask a whole lot easier. You won’t have to look for ways to stop your glasses fogging up when wearing a mask, or stop mid-way to wipe them down.
Also, wear clothes that you’ll feel at ease in and that won’t get caught while you’re pedalling. Going for natural fibres like cotton or linen is a good move, as they’ll help keep you cool too. If cycling to work, it’s good to bring an extra set of clothes to change into when you get there.
