Why cycling gloves are important
Cycling gloves are the second most important safety accessory for cycling after helmet. Their importance lies in several key aspects:
Fall protection
- Children instinctively reach their hands out in front of them when they fall
- Gloves protect the palms of the hands from scraping against asphalt or other surfaces
- Reduces the risk of more serious hand injuries
- Prevents burns from friction against surfaces
Safety and comfort while riding
- Prevent sweaty palms from slipping off the handlebars
- Provide better control of the bike
- Protects against handlebar blisters
- Increase grip security
