Special Bar Tape does not protect your hands when you fall, gloves do. So you need gloves just like you need a helmet. Too Bad...

So now change gloves, thier style and make and padding. Find a pair that fit ya well and allow you to ride like you like. It is easy for me to recommend this but it is not easy to find a really good set of gloves for some people...

I know for some riders gloves may not be important. As I get older my skin is thinner, bones more brittle, proprioception tedious, vision and hearing worse. I dread the time when I have to use even more protection in order to ride. But if I have to I will...

Good Grief... No...

Do they make a 2XL? ...Ha
