Yay! My pressie from me to me arrived!

[swee'pea99]

When my nearest & dearest miss the heaviest of hints and fail to get me the pressies I want, it falls to me to make good.

This year in the form of:

Love these gloves, and I'll be sad to bin the old ones - all the more so because the leather padded palms are still absolutely sound - but there's no getting round the fact that the webbing is shot to hell and the velcro straps barely grip at all. But if the last pair's anything to go by, these should be good for the next five or six years.

Now to break 'em in...

Fingerless mittens in December

Where did you get them?
I'm struggling to find crochet back mitts now to replace my Bontrager pair which are no longer made.
Are they cycling specific or also for other things like weightlifting and stuff? As that can make the design less good for cycling.

I saw a young man wandering around local streets in shorts, tee-shirt, and flip-flops the other day. No socks, gloves or hat!

I got them from these people - they're sold as wheelchair gloves, but I find them great for cycling.

I didn't wear tee-shirts and flip flops in the winter, but I do remember my dad warning me for going out without a hat, coat or gloves...

"You'll catch your death of cold!"

I'm now a bit older than he was then (and look just like he did at this age) and I actually caught myself saying that the other day...
