- I have a pair of gloves along these lines that I picked up at a gardening
- store. They keep the water out, but are very bulky, making it difficult to
- work the turn signals. They're also really stiff, so my hands hurt after
- a while from keeping the gloves bent around the handlebars. This may not
- be as bad for you hairy, muscle types with big hands.
-
- Was anyone here silly enough, like me, to buy racing-style gloves in nifty
- colours? Does the dye eventually stop bleeding all over your hands (either
- when you sweat or in the rain)? Is there anything that one can do to
- prevent this, aside from wearing a liner or buying new gloves? I once
- walked into a bike shop after a rain storm, pulled off my gloves and the
- salesman loked at my blue hands and said, "I see that you have Fox disease!"
