The palms of my hands are hairy and sweat a ton on longer rides. Should I shave them, get better breathing gloves or just get a girlfriend?

I should probably pick that up .... Sounds like it has all the answers in 1 place.

I find that mine gets worn off as my knuckles scrape along the ground.

I've taken a break in shaving, being off the bike after a bad crash. My 5 year-old saw me in shorts and said "Dad, you have fur!"

read the article... nothing new or inspiring... oddly enough, one day I just started receiving it (the magazine)... never ordered it though ( I find that strange ).

I guarantee you that KY jelly is way better as a shaving lotion than foam based shaving gels you can get from gillette or neutrogina.
