You really need to protect your eyes and face when riding.
Constant wind can make your eyes water, which can prevent you from being able
to see hazards. Your eyes are the most important sense organ for controlling
that bike; you will still need them even when you don’t ride. The peculiarity
of a motor biker is that you are more informed and safety conscious compare to
a regular commercial rider on the streets.
Flying insects, dust and debris can hurt your eyes and face.
Eyeglasses or sunglasses do not provide adequate protection for your eyes
because they can fly off, move or shelter. Most motorcycle windshields do not
give adequate protection for your eyes or face. As much as possible, get a good
helmet with a very clear visor so that you can get a clear view of happenings
around you.
I have seen a case of a motorbiker travelling from Lagos to Ogun state
without wearing a helmet to protect his eyes, by the time he arrived at his
destination, his eyeballs were red and swollen due to overexposure to dusts and
debris on the highway. There are countless cases of Okada riders who travel long distance on Nigerian highways without protecting their eyes.
Protect your eyes while riding because you still need
them at old age,
Love to Ride, Ride to Live!!!
