As far as visors go, they may not be very stylish but they are great to have if you ever ride in the rain. I went out in the rain last year several times. Especially going downhill the rain can really sting if it pelts you right in the face. Having a visor or a riding cap under the helmet is a lifesaver.
Ha ha! I didn't know windshields were available for a road bike!? I would think they would just slow you down... oh wait... what is a recumbent?
