Never mind...I think you're still doing a great thing...it's awesome and it's good that you're not preachy about it Interestingly, in Winnipeg, there's some discussion about teaching cycling skills and making it part of the curriculum...so kids will have the necessary tools to cycle safely for

Bill - I feel like we may need to hear a story about your BA mom! Ray, housecoat and slippers, never! But always boots and broth! I would also add your niece is lucky. Garth, yes, the distinction must be made. Although, I don't think my sons have figured out that I'm not cool and that they

I'm sure these gloves are fine, and there are plenty of other sources for well crafted, made in USA gloves, so don't feel like Riv is the only source. I have a pair of gloves from aerostich from my motorcycle days -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

I recommend DeFeet Duragloves, the charcoal wool model. They're only 40% wool, but made in the U.S.A. They're tight knit so fairly windproof and have grippy things on the palms. I use them for cycling and all outdoor activities (except cross -country skiing which requires a warmer glove} for 5

If my mom wore hat like that when I was 8 I surely would have given her a slight roll of the eyes and a "oh mom .." to make a clear distinction , *that was what adults wore , not kids ! * Funny thing about glove choices, in mild cold I prefer those plain ol' brown cotton Wells Lamont

I like my MUSA Mitts-- unfortunately [currently] "Sold Out". They work great as a wind break and can be worn over gloves for extra insulation. Easy on/off when you need to use your fingers. I like the cord to fasten 'em to my wrists. shoji On Monday, November 28, 2016 at 12:37:58 PM

Goat leather is real nice, soft and supple, absolutely perfect for riding. Sitting upright and having grips of some sort on the bars no one needs padded gloves anyways. Take the "work" thingy with a grain of salt, or sugar whatever. It dries soft and offers good dexterity . While I

If you don't want cycling padding in a glove I don't think it matters which glove you ride on as long as one that you think looks nice and blocks the winter wind enough for you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

I wear a pair of goat gloves in mildish winter weather, with wool gloves underneath (temp range is small 35-50˚F) and they last a very long time. I've abused the daylights out of mine for years. Since I don't use padding anyway, I find no padding a huge plus. I would guess that for your desert

Leah, I think they are less than ideal for riding - they have NO padding. Some folks like that, but I'm in the a little padding is good camp. Also, and I may be more sensitive to this than others because I'm a large animal veterinarian - they smell like buck. Yep, like intact male goat urine.

Riv states clearly that those goat gloves are work gloves. Is that what you need, work gloves? If so, I agree with you that it's nice to give Riv the business, and I like that they are MUSA. If I needed a pair of wood-stacking, axe swinging gloves, I would definitely give them a shot. I
