(esp combined with heated grips, Mmmmmm lovely ;-))</p> <p>However... on a bicycle I tend to find the exercise keeps me warm (even my hands despite mild white finger) so not needed for the sort of cycling I do, so far! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1876#post-19179 Sun, 12 Dec 2010 23:48:13 +0000 wingpig 19179@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nah. What happens in strong sidewinds? You'd still need normal glubs on underneath to prevent sudden chills when signalling. If it rained the rain would still run down your sleeves but would pool at the bottom and make your bar tape go all mouldy. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1876#post-19177 Sun, 12 Dec 2010 23:21:29 +0000 druidh 19177@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've never seen them fitted on drop bars before.</p> <p>Interesting.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1876#post-19173 Sun, 12 Dec 2010 23:13:16 +0000 spitfire 19173@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Good luck getting out of them in a spill.... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1876#post-19168 Sun, 12 Dec 2010 22:35:58 +0000 kaputnik 19168@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.barmitts.com/gallery/index.php">You need some bar mitts!</a></p> <p><img src="http://www.barmitts.com/gallery/adventure_3.jpg"></p> <p>At least no-one is going to nick them! </p>
