igenlodeI have resolved that from now on my cycling gloves shall live in my front bike bag rather than my jacket pockets; this will reduce carrying capacity in the bag, but at least makes it still more or less possible to repeatedly take them off and put them on again during a long trip, which tends to become necessary as my body overheats and then cools. And it should mean that they are always available when cycling.
Meanwhile I have unearthed my old home-knitted mittens (knitted at least twenty years ago, I think), with the very thin inner 'liner gloves' that I purchased from a fishing tackle shop that no longer exists, in order to substitute for my heavy cycling gloves in my jacket pockets. The double thickness is reasonably warm and reasonably windproof, and because they don't have the stiff cuffs they squish down better into the pockets and should be less apt to fall out. (Although I just found one lying on the floor of the hall on the first day of wearing, which is not a good omen! I think I probably let it fall after taking it off to put my key in the door, then stooping to pick up the post...)
