Just back from a very short ride to next village, all circa 140 metres above
sea level. (South Cambridgeshire)

I was effectively in cloud the whole while with visibility in the range 200
to perhaps 400 metres with light drizzle.

Does anyone know of anywhere to get windscreen wipers for spectacles?

I've had exactly the same this evening in my bit of mid-Norfolk. Night
cycling along unlit lanes to Dereham & back. Fog, constant drizzle, but
thankfully little in the way of the dreaded headwind :-) I recommend
multitudinous lights front & rear as well as acres of reflectives on self &
bike. Tonight I was mostly wearing four front lights, three rear lights &
half-a-football pitch worth of reflectives. Actually I enjoyed the cycling
but had to repeatedly wipe my eyewear clear of drizzle.

Cheers.

Sorry Jack my server is playing up . Was that sunscreen diapers for
testicles? I sincerely hope it wasn't ; you'll catch your death.

Try a helmet with a visor. It works, just so long as you wear the helmet
properly and don't tip it so far back that the front sits on the top of your
head.

I was out mountain biking on the moors above Hebden Bridge last night in
similar conditions.

Thanks for all the "serious" answers to a non-serious question.

Sorry for my pathetic twisted sense of humour.
My old Dad was equally pathetic and one of my sons seems to have inherited
this rather sad trait.
