David from Fat Tire Bike Tours picks Polaroid Sunglasses!

My name is David Phillips, manager of Fat Tire Bike Tours – London. I personally own three bikes, but am responsible for more than 103. Reason being, we provide guide bike tours to private groups and visitors to the city of London on comfortable California “beach cruisers” every day through the Royal Parks. The pace isn’t le Tour de France, but we still cover 7 miles per tour (with a nice pub break half-way through). With wind and pollen an obstacle that can ruin my day…sunglasses are just as essential as a flat repair kit and pump. I was give the opportunity to demo a few different types of Polaroid sunglasses over the past two months. My favourite has been the P7024’s (Mountain FX)– which are essentially an “everyday” pair of shades. Rockin’ these guys, I can sprint across town to work (5.5 mile or so commute from Dalston to Queensway), work around the office all day, perhaps even giving a tour…and they don’t ache against the side of my head or nose (which can be a massive problem with sunglasses). They’re  also versatile enough to wear on the beach (I took them out on a surf trip to Newquay in late June 2010) and professional/classic enough to wear greeting a few hundred guests per weekend. I honestly had two “other brand” pairs which were similar in style to P7024’s…but those “others” are collecting dust. It’s the pair from Polaroid that live either in my backpack or on my face. If you don’t believe me, book a tour with us at Fat Tire Bike Tours  and come see them in action!
