TOUR DE FRANCE
SCHOOLS OUT! LET’S HIT THE TRAILS...
July signifies many events and celebrations. Students have reached summer holidays! When I dream back to being a kid that means, carefree biking with friends! Heading to the pool, slurpees and building the jumps that led to many scars. I’m sure we all have many great memories from our childhood riding days. Those great times don’t have to end with our childhood; keep creating cycling memories this summer.

PROTECT YOUR EYES...as my grandma used to tell me; they’re the only 2 you have! Your eyes are put through enormous damage even on cloudy days. Wearing sunglasses protects your eyes from UV radiation and the long term ailments that those rays contribute to. Sunglasses will also protect from dust, branches and UFO’s while out on your ride. Besides deciding what frame looks cool, there is a multitude of lens options to confuse us even more. Lenses have come such a long way over the decades besides overall protection. You’ll hear polarized, chormapop, photochromic and PRIZM etc; all from different manufacturers achieving the same goal. And that is to give you as much contrast through changing light conditions.
Oakley’s PRIZM lens has been developed through decades of technology. Light and colors are precisely tuned through the lens to maximize the contrast and enhance visibility. The enhanced visibility improves your riding by choose the safest line, seeing potholes and objects on the trails. Here is a sample of Oakley’s PRIZM Lens or stop by to try some.
