ff1 - mate, I already wear prescription glasses and have found it impossible to wear both sets at the same time. I tried the contact lense versions you forwarded and they were effective, but a tad large. I hate to complain but when I have them in my eyelids won't shut, I am unable to blink and my eyeballs dry out. Another unexpected downside is that they reflect sunlight so efficiently, I've accidentally laser-etched the inside of my screen.
So, I think I'll have to go with the rear-view mirror overlay version as you suggested. It'll be a pain, but I'll just have to fit them onto the rear-view mirrors of everyone I'm riding with that day. If I read the marketing literature correctly, it will expand my image in their rear view mirror by 10 times - which means that as long as I am somewhere in the same suburb it will appear that my front tyre is glued to their ass.
At last, I'll finally hear the words "Crap ! Astro's keeping up with me !"
p.s. - I will hang onto the glasses you sent as I've found my girlfriend prefers to wear them in bed. She said something about them helping her to overcome my deficiencies and making the little things in life easier to find. I'm not sure what she meant, but if it keeps her happy I'll let her keep them. The older I get, the better I was. Regards.... Rob<i></i>
