Someone commented in a post a few days ago that gloves were superfluous except for racing or in cold weather. My front tire hit a berm and I went down on my side hard. Luckily I just ended up with some unpleasant road rash, although it destroyed a section of my bibs and the shoulder of my jersey…but I’m very glad I was wearing gloves! My palm and back of my hand had almost no damage.
