How many wear cycling gloves in warm weather?

There's a remedy for smelly gloves. It's called a washing machine.

Always, can't be arsed with having no skin when I fall off.

Don't fall off then!

My gloves only come out in winter.

Never wear them apart from maybe 5-10 times a year in winter when the cold forces me to.

I followed your advice, but cycling to work with a washing machine on each hand was awkward to say the least.

I always wear gloves because I get cold hands.
I went out on the road bike once without when it was really warm but my hands got too sweaty.
Have a variety of gloves but they keep disappearing (Mr M, chief suspect).
Had some nice Fox gloves that were good for better weather but they're gone

Always, for the reasons stated by posters above.
The tan you get in summer by wearing mitts, which I find looks horrible I try to offset by doing gardening bare handed, evens the tan a bit.

I fixed Mr M's panda look when he'd been wearing sunglasses all day and had white bits around his eyes.
Used bronzing powder and looked OK, although Mr M had a wee glow about him

That's nothing, I once spent a sunny afternoon at Mallory Park with no T-shirt on and binoculars around my neck, talk about tanlines didn't take my shirt off for the rest of the year.

I nearly always wear gloves but on the off occasion I don't, it sure feels good having a more direct connection with the bike.

I use the crochet and leather ones in summer, and mittens or gloves in the winter, always have. Like western shirts when touring or riding long distances, just a convenience thing.

[QUOTE 4192500, member: 9609"]For reasons that puzzle me as I rarely wear a helmet, I feel very vulnerable cycling without gloves and probably the only time I cycle without gloves is on big ascents in warm weather but I will then put them back on for the descent. Seems my hands are more important to me than my head.[/QUOTE]
You would have to be unlucky to bang your head when you fall off, but your hands will always make contact with the ground.

If you ever come off at speed and put your hands on any rough even gravelly surface you will change your mind

 

[Levo-Lon]

Nothing worse than gravel rash..gloves are good for grip and sweat absorbing..my hands sweat a lot as does the rest of me when biking..

I'm looking for some fingerless summer clothes.

Any recommendations? I'm looking for ones with little or no padding

I got these when they were half price, just watch the sizing i had to go up two sizes as they are tight. Use them for road and MTB.

But you find me a bloke that knows how to work one, fix it maybe but operate it, no way.
