Anyone recommend some gloves? I rode a 22 mile off-road trail today and my palms were killing me. I think my right hand even went numb for a bit toward the end.

You'd think that decades of constant masturbation would have prepared me for this. But alas.

Maybe I should dump a whole bottle of lotion on my hands before setting off.

Fist does a lot of biking if I recall. For most outposters playing WoW is considered exercise.

Also I guess I should probably get one of those miniature pumps. I rode past two chicks who were inspecting one of their bikes' tires. They asked if I had a pump. I said no. I had a friggin' backpack on. Must've looked very prepared. They probably thought I was lying. Alternately: Must've looked like a complete retard. "NO I'M SORRY THIS BACKPACK IS FILLED WITH MY SPIDERMAN TOYS, OKAY GOODBYE!"

It was filled with a windbreaker, my wallet & keys, an extra water bottle, a granola bar, and a banana.

stop masturbating and bathing with skin softeners.

get a co2 flat repair kit and carry a couple cartridges. its far more impressive to women that a soft skinned, bloody handed juvenile pumping away with a cheap pump.


seriously, what kind of sissy wears gauntlets on his bike?
you dont think the roughness of of the inside of the gloves would irritate your delicate flesh?

There were a lot of sissies on the trail. Everyone I saw was wearing gloves.

What kind of weather? If it's not too cold, Pearl Izumi gloves do well and are pretty reasonable on Amazon. For colder weather just wear any kind of outdoor glove.
