Last Sunday I showed up at a ride with two right hand gloves. It was a warm humid day for a ride along the California coast. I decided to go "au natural". I'm usually a glove guy, and this felt a little wierd at first, then I realized how comfortable it was. I wouldn't do it every day, but every so often it's nice to change things up a little, even if it is by accident. Just don't have an accident without your gloves. Years ago I had a bad crash and broke my arm and wrist, and some other important stuff. The EMTs cut off a nice Specialized glove I was wearing. I still have one nice one. And a cut one that I saved as a souvenir. The gloves did their job. No hand injuries, but lots of other places, though. Back to Sunday's ride, I use Brooks leather bar wrap on my Raleigh, and the leather got stained from my sweaty, gloveless hands.
