Do You Wear Driving Gloves?

Nice Austrian Puch.  How much did it weigh?

It was just under 20 LBs. depending on which wheels and tyres you were using.

I would love to have another road bike but my wife doesn't want me on the road with the texting drivers. We have a cyclist or two get killed around here every year...

That's why I quit training & racing myself.  One guy on my team was killed, and another was permanently injured.  I would need a computer to count the number of near-misses, and a couple I'll never forget.

So I converted my turbo to the Minoura ICE system and I can ride miles safely without leaving the house

If a cyclist or two is killed in your area, then the legislators and LE people aren't doing their jobs well. Plus the drivers are truly st00pid. A cyclist being killed should be as rare as a nascar driver being killed. Obviously, choosing a safe road to ride is important, but everyone must share the roads equally and safely. A careless driver can make a country parkway a dangerous place.

While I don't think chicks dig dudes wearing gloves in todays world.  I do think chicks wearing gloves are pretty damn hot!!

Mittens are for outdoor winter activities.  Driving gloves are for driving, cycling gloves are for cycling, and when you are done with your activity, you take them off.  If I were to keep wearing my racing suit or cycling uniform, I'd keep wearing the gloves- albeit, I'd be wearing the stuff on the right venue.
