They keep the wind and wet off the fingers, and also keep the fingers from drying out and cracking/splitting. Of course, I'm also not riding 20mph either, so maybe a pair of surgical gloves under a pair of driving gloves would work for bike riding...

Back 40 years ago when I rode my bicycle to swim practice at 5am on cold Winter mornings, I wore a pair of thick yellow Playtex dishwashing gloves...
