damerell at 12:03pm on 07/06/2005I have summer cycling gloves. I have been annoying people one at a time by telling them this, so I'm going to save time by annoying you all at once.
You see, these are not made with actual cow on the palms any more. Instead there's some synthetic leather crap which, while excellent for punting gloves, is not nearly so comfortable as leather. However, it turns out that some company in Pakistan makes proper cow-flavoured gloves, and - via the Rivendell Bicycle Works in California - I have a pair.
They have proper towelling on the thumb to blow your nose on and everything. I'm ever so pleased.
Also, anyone who's read Weber's Honor Harrington books - in between vomiting up your skull at his politics, has it struck you that she is a Mary-Sue?
