Cycling Gloves

No, really - if you live near 19th and Louisiana in Lawrence, look in your backyard. You hear all of that screaming and clanging metal? It's Scary Larry Bike Polo, the thrice-weekly meeting at Veterans Park of cycling/bludgeoning enthusiasts. And, for those who love the Winter Games, there's even an ice hazard. Scary Larry regular Matt Brown hit a skid of black ice on the basketball court and went over his handlebars in a recent, below-freezing bout. His elbow was dinged, but he got right back on his steel horse - after a bit of colorful language - and proceeded to swing his mallet like a Ralph Lauren logo come to profane life. Such is Scary Larry.

If you are looking for gloves with padding road, I think trades are the most comfortable and every pair I've been pretty durable, too. Gloves recent Pearl and LG seem to wear out too fast compared to what they were like.

If you want gloves mountain, there are tons of deals right now. Check Pricepoint.com, Jensonusa.com and Greenfishsports.com. 661 and Dakine are my favorites. If you want a breakdown, the 661 Raji is supreme. I just took 2 pairs of those for $ 15 each at Greenfish.

I use gloves Assos S-Series. They are super comfortable and allows plenty of movement. They are not too expensive either. Good luck with your new gear.
