Bad weather for riding today, so I thought I would invite some abuse...

I confess I usually wear and like fingerless gloves.. had them as a kid with my 10 speed and have worn them for years on a bike.. The padded palms are more comfortable on the grips IMHO and the fingerless feature makes it easier to operate the touch screen, hand controls and helmet strap.

 

Does ignoring you count as abuse?

 

Fingerless gloves are useless.

 

I like fingerless gloves

 

In my opinion no.. and since you replied to the post, you actually didn't ignore it.

 

They're actually called mechanic's gloves and they work

 

Because my grips are knurled plastic...hate the rubber grips...I wear them on long rides. Any other kind of glove would be too hot in the summer.

 

They protect your knuckles and hand while at the same time you can manipulate hardware. Try picking up an 8mm or 1/4 nut with regular gloves on.

 

My fingerless gloves make me look bad *** when I ride my harley, old ladies tremble when they see me coming.

 

Winter threads already???

You must really need it Bad so I'm not going to judge. Heading out for a ride myself so I'll give a brother a hand while my bike warms up.

Haven't had fingerless since I was kid and we all did it on my street cause the football player on the end of the block had them. Our moms were pissed we cut up our perfectly good winter gloves. One kid still only had mittens...didn't have the same "cool" effect.

I like my Churchill shorties for riding. Good protection and still pretty finger friendly for grabbing things. Few weeks ago I was off work and I did ride a few times without gloves altogether just because I left on an errand and wound up turning right at the stop sign and coming back four hours later. I don't make a habit of it, but it sure felt good having the wind on my hands. Even the few bugs and rocks I took to the knuckles didn't ruin it. I could see fingerless gloves giving some of the fun, but keeping your hands intact somewhat if you bit it.
