Gloves serve several functions. First, they provide a sure grip on the handlebars, thus assuring proper control. Next, road vibration is absorbed in the padded palm of the cycling glove, resulting in less fatigue in your hands. Lastly, should you ever take a spill, gloved hands will fare better than skidding across the pavement bare-handed. Gloves are available in standard with fingers cut off, mountain with full fingers, and a variety of winter gloves.
