I should probably post this in 50+ but starting here. My near vision had always been ok (I wear contacts for distance) even with contacts in, but in the past few weeks I have noticed that my near vision has gone to crap. I use the computer at work and it's becoming a challenge. I know it's "normal" to need reading glasses/cheaters at my age (presbyopia literally means old eyes) but it's quite frustrating.
I know they make eyedrops that can treat this, I may have to try some. Or else wear the cheaters around my neck like a stethoscope.

A MTB can go everywhere a gravel bike can go, but not the other way around. I don't foresee myself doing enough riding where the advantages of a gravel bike become a significant factor. For now, a gravel bike will remain on the N+1 list. I may also be a the limits of my bike storage space without having to take away from other activities that happen in my garage. If my kid takes a bike with her to college, however....

Not for me. I know myself and that would drive me NUTS. Ditto the whole "monovision" option with one lens for close and one for distance. I know it works for some but would make me bonkers.

Set out to do a sub 5 hour century. At 3:43 mins I passed 80 miles, so my goal changed to 100 miles in 4:30 mins. I almost made it, 4:39 mins. What I don’t get is strava shows 4:46 mins. Why doesn’t the data directly transfer from garmin.
I know it doesn’t matter, but it is frustrating.

Except, I ride and drive (at times) without the glasses.
I also take them off when I detail the car since that alleviates my OCD.

I noticed some things on my ride this past Saturday. I rode with a friend, both on the same bikes, but I have Garmin and he has a Wahoo computer. My elevation gain was 1,086, but his was only 755. Ride with GPS says 1,206 for the route. I cannot figure out why his computer was showing so much less.

I tried progression lenses once. I had to turn my whole head, to asé what I can see by moving only my eyes, with bifocals.

Me too. I think I need to get those special glasses for computer work, though, the ones where there's more of the bottom, so I don't have to tilt my head back. Ergonomically, I believe, you're supposed to raise your screens more to eye level, but mine are lower because I need to look through the bottom to read them.
