They're motorcycle gloves I think... at least that's where the concept came from anyhow if they were made intentionally for bikers.

ah, thought they were keirin gloves:

EDIT: Yeah, they are... exact ones too. rofl, thank you google.

Heh page 420.... Heh...

Now, now, we all know NJS & carbon fiber do not mix. :p
Cool stuff nonetheless, I was gawking at my bro in - law's oakley ones when he rode up to my house here in his shiny new ducati earlier this year.

Anyhow I had some ideas too [yup I'm a sucker for carbon fiber] but I ended up deciding they're a tad bit too on the bulky side for me for cycling gloves.

Paging GMJ.

I used those for a few months in 2009. The wrist strap tears up pretty easy from normal use. I like baseball batting gloves for everyday use. Golf gloves for special occasions.

I read it's super thin neoprene? wonder why they chose that material...

Yeah. That's what it is made of. Not sure why. The seams came loose, too.

A friend of mine was riding his bike tonight and got hit by a drunk driver. His mom thinks the funeral will be Wednesday. I'm super sad. **** today. Seriously. **** everything about today.

:(

happened to me 3 years ago. There's a huge ride tonight and I have been trying to get some group together so I don't have to ride out to the start alone

At this time??? I think the timing with bars closing is really bad... a tragedy waiting to happen. Bicycle lights? A drunk person might even perceive to drive toward it.

Wow. I'm so sorry for your loss.

riding the closed course for the LA marathon at around 4am. So far I have four people, if I didn't have anybody then I would not go.

I wish I could have gone to the Wolfpack Hustle Marathon Crash race :( A few of my fellow Hustlers made the trip from SF -> LA but I'm away on business and couldn't make it. waaamp waaamp.

My sincerest condolences. That's awful. I hope they caught the person that did it. While it doesn't bring your friend back, at least there will be some semblance of justice.

I'm sorry to hear that.

riding temp lowered to 42F as of this morning. loving the cold gear.

no words. my condolences.

Man that is harsh. Sorry to hear JT.

I keep hearing stories like that and I'm never gonna hit the road between 9pm and 4am on Fri/Sat nights again.

I reckon St. Patty's day requires a longer window.

RIP fellow rider.

It was gooooood ride. LA is so nice when there aren't any cars. 0 sleep and 3 hours until I have to open shop at Bikerowave. Very few cars passed me on the way there last night, that was a relief. That and joining a large group going to the same place

Seems like fun, who won this year?

:( for jimmy's friend.

On Fourth of July a few years ago, I was biking with a group through middle of nowhere super rural south. I was instructed by locals to be really careful after noon (noon!) because of all the drunk drivers that would be out on the road.

It turned out to be fine, but the fact that we were given this advice at all certainly made the locals look good.

Today I've been looking long and hard at road bikes. I don't want to spend a lot because I'll really only use it on really long rides (see sig) or when riding with roadies, but I don't want to buy a piece of crap just because its cheap. Hopefully something pops up used.

was eyeballing this cross bike so I could use for multiple things afterwards. seems like a decent deal as I think I've seen it on bonktown for 995. hopefully something good pops up for $300 around town though :D

Riding with roadies using a 46/36, 32c knobs and cyclocross geo?

I know cross bikes are the new fixed gear but if you want a road bike, buy a road bike. Not a cross bike.

Do you have a whole gif collection of just this guy?
