I have had quite a few gravel rashs on the palms of my hands when coming off a bike as a kid and putting my hands out.
Common for motor-cyclists as well - natural reaction to try and save yourself.

I always wear gloves when I'm on my bike, even if I'm wearing nothing else  _________________ I started out with nothing, I still have most of it. Directmail scam information site: http://astrocat.proboards.com/index.cgi?

Mooncat's remark reminds me of the Queen Fat bottomed girls song. The bike retailers made them replace the seats that the nude girls sat on before they sold the bikes.

I can imagine his wearing the gloves for his "intimate and personal tasks" too.
