Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I started wearing gloves when I rode BMX way back. I wore them mainly to prevent callouses but also for crash protection. After 20+ years of wearing gloves, I feel naked without them.
