Waved at another cyclist and he didn't wave back...
While I was waving, I realized that my gloves are getting worn out. Let's hear some suggestions for warm weather gloves under $50, preferably black or black/white.

Yeah, it's almost summer. Maybe you should be asking about warm weather gloves instead of...oh wait.

Have you ever seen the moving "Break Away". Next time someone doesn't wave, remember what can be done with a frame pump.........

No gloves. They are free. And they don't restrict movement while waving.

Don't stick your hands out when you crash.

When that happens I turn around, drop them then go back the way I was going initially. That'll show them.

My favorites -- Specialized SL Comp gloves. Not too much padding, $30, available in black and black/white, completely colorfast unlike a lot of gloves.

See, if you didn't wave, you wouldn't have noticed the sad state
of your gloves, and you wouldn't have to spend any money.
How much is that wave going to cost you?
I don't know, but I use BG Gel gloves, so that's a $30.00 wave.
Look at the Specialized Outlet section on their site:
Specialized Bicycle Components
Regular price:

Go Michael Jackson and only wear one glove. They'll last you twice as long.

I have my wife tie my hands down to the bars before I leave and when I get home she comes out and unties them for me.
