(P.s. I think you should have an 'ask Weenie' page or something, being the knowledgeable cyclist that you are).<br /><br />Right...onto the serious stuff...<br />I ordered a pair of short finger cycling gloves from Wiggle (these ones: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Assos_Ladies_Summer_Short_Finger_Cycling_Gloves/5360042812/) and received them in the post today...and am now having doubts about them. <br />First off, they sent me ones with white palms...when I asked for black (for obvious dirt reasons)...<br />Secondly...I feel I may have been a bit stupid and quick to purchase as they were...well...a bit costly...and having seen them in the 'flesh' today...they seem a bit on the flimsy side.<br /><br />Am probably going to return them now...though, once again stupidly, I seem to have filled out an exchange form instead of just a return and get my money back one!<br /><br />Any advice on well padded short finger cycling gloves and which ones you find to be better?<br />My poor hands are really taking a beating on the bike...especially with all the bloody speed bumps I have to go over (30 over a 2.5mile journey)!<br /><br />Sorry for the long post, but thought you might be able to help and any help would be much appreciated.<br /><br />Thank you. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4574000555619782461.post-85187851915140375612010-05-21T12:26:27.813+01:002010-05-21T12:26:27.813+01:00I use face-specific suncreen instead of moisturise...I use face-specific suncreen instead of moisturiser in this weather having got badly burnt last year :@(Weeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978271476811808607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4574000555619782461.post-17364821599913391772010-05-20T17:15:45.412+01:002010-05-20T17:15:45.412+01:00Cycling is far better than horrid public transport...Cycling is far better than horrid public transport...you'd end up more sweaty on a train or bus.<br />Also far more fun on a bike. <br />Enjoy the sights and weather and don't forget your sunscreen...oh I really need to remember that one myself! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
