Protect Yourself By Wearing Gloves

Often overlooked, cycling gloves perform many important functions: They provide padding between hands and handlebar reducing jolts that can cause numbness. They act as skid pads if you fall off the bike and land on your hands. They're protection against nicks and cuts when you have to perform on-the-road-repairs. Full-finger gloves, which are popular with mountain bikers ward off branches and thorns along with offering additional protection from abrasions during crashes.
