Another good lesson on Euro Style and how to look good while riding. Chain Reaction has a photo essay on how riders wear their shades in the Tour. Amoung the many influences in technology and style, Lance Armstrong also popularized the wearing of sunglasses upside-down on your helmet. (I tried this, but never got it to work with my Giro Pneumo helmet. Maybe I can convince the wife I need to upgrade to the ATMOS so I can be like Lance…)
George Hincapie, probably the most-readily identifiable rider in the Peloton (nobody else wears big white sunglasses!), makes not wearing them stylish. Heck, George makes just about anything stylish.
