cycling gloves

after my several rides on sunday, my hands felt fatigue. i noticed my body is leaning on my hands, so there is added pressure being applied to the wrists and the hands. i've read online that having cycling gloves are a MUST HAVE. so i went online to figure out which gloves i should get. my bionic gloves fitness gloves have a similar look and feel to the cycling gloves... but they're only used for lifting weights. i went to the specialized site and looked at there specialized body geometry gel glove. i called up my local specialized dealer, Pulse Endurance Sports and they had some in stock. i checked out two of the gloves... the Gel Gloves and the Sport Gloves. The sport gloves were really light weight and had some padding but the gel gloves were a bit heavier but had more padding. after some thinking i decided to go with the short fingered bc gel gloves. i think the extra padding will illeviate the pain and will be excellent for longer rides.
