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

These?

Hardly a joke. There are heftier versions lined with fur that get rave reviews over in the Winter forum. Some riders say they can use their regular lightweight gloves in subfreezing temperatures when they've got these on the bike.

I think you can buy similar products for motorcycles for about half that much. $64.95, ouch.

Somebody from barmitts was apparently spamming BF today. Seems sleazy to me.

I was reporting a thread to a mod but it disappeared while I was reporting it.

Must be lousy products if they can't afford to advertise, or hire a shill under the table.
