I have darkly tinted glasses for really bright sun, lightly tinted for not so bright days and clear for night time use. Though night time was when I sailed a lot and needed something to read the depth markings on the chart plotter. But I'd imagine they work great for bike riding at night.

Cheap enough to buy by the gross and you won't care if you drop them and run over them.

Otherwise, I'll be on the side of a device that mounts on your bars. GPS or non-GPS. When I'm riding, there are times I want to see a particular stat, and that many times isn't when it's the best moment to take a hand off the bars. Actually it's not the best of times to be wanting to focus on something mounted to the bars either. So I'm hoping that heads up displays get a little better and less expensive. My son has the discontinued Garmin Varia Vision and he uses it every time he rides. I wish that I too had gotten one when I had the opportunity.
