Transprotation of spectacles

Top box - as you said you're getting old!

I had a pair of sunglasses posted to me from my Mum. Gosh old people can pack! They were in cotton wool in a glasses case (not the sunglasses' case) in bubble wrap in a padded envelope!

Been toying with the idea of wee tankbag or tailpack for a while now.
Getting a bit bored of cargo nets and bungies and stuff.

Yeah I had a look at those, bit too small.

I have a Frank Thomas tank bag which is an ideal size but the magnets on it arr **** poor. Mrs Tricky has even sewn some little bungie loops on it so I can use it as a tailpack. It works ok but its a bit of a lash up.

how big are you glasses?

I'd do what Grinch recommended (v. small tank bag) for commuting, with contents that don't really matter if they get wet, I'd opt for a cheap one you don't mind losing, then you can leave it on the bike whilst parked up, rather than faff about fitting it/removing it all the time. I do this all the time and I park at sixth form colleges a lot (where you imagine there'd be plenty of kids who'd nick it), but no one has ever touched it.

If for some reason you don't want a tank bag, I'd go for contact lenses, as hovis recommends. Even if you don't legally need them, you may well find they improve you vision (and consequently riding) no end. I know mine have.

the lidl/ aldi £3 tank bag is ideal for glasses mobile keys etc ( although the magnets are a tad small so a made a clip to clip it on to head stock)

they still had them in my local aldi last week

Or even the small Kriega tailpack. They do a 10 litre as well as the 20 which I have just got.

It would be nice if I could fit my lunch in too and perhaps a phones and stuff.
