   More rain questions for the vision-impaired: How do you folks reduce
   fogging/rain accumulation on your glasses? Contact lenses are not an
   option for me, and I *must* (can you say blind as a bat?) wear the
   glasses. These factors have combined to cause me problems, especially
   when riding at night.

Well for day time in the rain, find a helment with a brim like the old
Bell Tourist and some fenders. [Unless of course you can find one of
those glasses that comes with the builtin wipers :-)]

As for fogging, use some saliva (always available) and apply
to you glasses (Some commercial concoctions are also available).
Re-apply as required.
