That bloody winter sun: DIY sunshield

[vinnyb]

The thing is that even if you manage to block the low sun, if the roads are damp, there's nothing you can do about glare from the road cos if you wear a tinted visor or glasses, dark enough to help, the shadows are just blacked out. Dry, mild, overcast days are the only days I choose to ride in the winter nowadays. I don't feel a moment's envy when I see a bike on the road on a shitty, slippy, grim Janaury morning.
