    Protective Bike Gloves

    Rode my acoustic today.

    I rode my 2010 jamis commuter 2 around my neighborhood ( think hills), and although I love my jamis, and have ridden it thousands of miles, and it's a perfect fit, it just isn't right for the hilly area I live in. It worked great everywhere else I've been, but these long hills are killing me...
