Wipe your wheels?
I always wear gloves on the bike- more than any other sport. I can think of many times where I went gloveless X-C skiing, for example, because it was warm enough.
On the bike, there is obviously winter riding. But how do you wipe your wheels?
Say I ride through some mixed, uncertain gravelly stuff on the road. Some sticks to my wheels- so I drag my palm over the front wheel, coast for 2 seconds and reach back and wipe the back wheel. "tic-tic-tic-tic..." sound is gone, front wheel looks clean, and until recently, I've not had a flat in quite some time. (Bad mojo with my tandem, see other threads.)
Also, I'm not yet quite the master of the "snot rocket" technique... what I'd call a "farmer blow"... the back of a crochet glove whisks the tail end of snot right clean off my cheek. "Eeewww!" you might say- but so much faster than fiddling with kleenex- and I have yet to litter a glove by accident.
Oh, I fell of the bike last week at a stop sign... changed bikes and pedal systems, forgetting that Looks clip back in so easily if you don't clip all the way out... fall down at 0 mph in a crowd...didn't chew up my palms, though.
I dunno- I store my gloves inside my helmet... that's how often I use 'em
