Bikers wear gloves??

New Biking Gloves!

So after our last tour de franzia (similar to a bar crawl, but we ride bikes, and don’t go to bars) the meaty part of my palms felt a little raw. Well, DUH! I didn’t wear bike gloves! So to solve that problem, I bought bike gloves! Woah…it’s like a simple math problem, eh?

So I got a pair of Pearl Izumi Gloves:

Pearl Izumi Select Gel $30.00 at Revolution Cycles

“Pearl Izumi's Women's Select Gel Gloves have gel-padded Clarino palms that soak up vibrations to keep you fresh and fatigue free. They also feature mesh backs for excellent ventilation and anti-microbial bamboo linings keep you dry. And, the microfleece thumbs provide a soft place to wipe your face. “

They didn’t make too much difference on my latest ride (since it was only a few miles) but I can DEF tell that they will make an impact on my longer rides.
