I must be getting soft

[mully95]

Oh man I always have worn gloves. A humans natural instinct is to place the hands flat on the road surface during a fall...... ewwww that can't be good.

I only wear my summer gloves on long trips unless it is cold of course.
But almost never wear them on short trips, just such a bother getting them on and off.

Are they the boots that lace up but also have a zipper in the side?

No mate .. just lace up. Got'em from the Doc Martin shop in the Valley, cheapest price I could find around town.

If you lived here you'd be wearing gloves these sub-zero mornings!
I used to ride sometimes without gloves in summer, until a flicked up stone near broke my knuckle.

I just got a pair of these from Leather up. A sponsor of this site I guess, as I usually get a pop up of their site. They are tall, lots of protection, not for everybody, but they do have a large selection, free shipping over $99. I like em!

I wear doc martens...mostly because I still think it's 1994

EVENFLOW!!!!

Got me a pair of boots from Redwing. They have a coated wire instead of laces and a wheel that you just ratchet up to your favorite tightness. Just pop up the wheel and the entire lacing loosens when taking off. Only available in brown though. Love 'em.

Peter, you're not turning into a softie at all. You are simply becoming more prudent in your old age!

I have the Sidi Canyon goretex boots. Pricey, but very good quality. Not too bad to walk in off the bike. In my third year with them.
