I'm looking into a 2009 kawasaki 250 ninja, I've got all the money I need to get everything, the bike, gloves, boots, helmet, jacket, and pants, now I just want to know if its better to take the BRC first or after I get the bike?
The 250 is a good size for learning. But I would still say to take the class. A bike this new, you want to minimize any possible damage to it. The class is just to get you started anyway, you do most of the learning after that on your own bike.

Good mountain bike gloves?
Dec 01, 2009 by Sedum | Posted in Cycling
Need some help finding some mountain biking gloves.
Every glove that looks good to me has horrible reviews... I'm not super picky, just want something that is full fingered and can withstand some beating.
Thanks!
For the record, when it comes to MTB gear... throw Pearl Izumi right out the window. They make excellent road gear but dont know much at all about the dirt.
I second the other posters vote for the Fox Digit glove. Pretty simple and not

Where can I find gloves for boxing training (inexpensive)?

I'm not talking about the big red ones, more like something akin to bike gloves. Thx
Something to keep the skin on your knuckles while you work out on the punching bag?
Most large sporting goods stores carry them (Dick's, Modell's), or you could buy online.

Are paddling gloves the same as biking gloves?

I'm about to canoe for 56 miles. I want comfort.
They should work, it will keep you from getting blisters. You may want to get 3/4 finger gloves instead of 1/2 finger.

I might be exaggerating a little with the title. He's not mafia (especially since that normally refers to Italian organized crime). But he was ...
Deadly drama on the Feather River will be hard to forget
09.06.11
Like many of you, I’m having a hard time getting Saturday’s terrible accident in the Feather River Canyon out of my mind. I keep picturing the events: Sixteen-year-old Oroville High School student Cody Olson driving; his father, Jameson, and his 9-year-old half-brother, Jameson III, with him in the car. I see Cody using a passing lane to get around a slow-rolling RV, but when he pulls back into the right lane he loses control of the vehicle and the car plunges into the canyon and the river below.
In my mind’s eye I can see Cody pulling his brother to the relative safety of a rock, then going back into the frigid, rushing water to rescue his drowning father, only to join him in death. And I can imagine little Jameson clinging to that rock for a half-hour, all alone now, before leaving it and falling victim to the river.
It’s easy to picture these horrific events, but hard to forget them.
My heart goes out to the Olson family. What a loss.
It’s Friday, 2:30 a.m. and my alarm is going off. Having seemingly just gone to bed, this is not a welcome sound, but I know what awaits me: 105 miles of hills and cornfields. I struggle to get out of bed and start putting on my gear. Bike shorts (spandex are a privilege, not a right!), bright yellow Bike to the Beach jersey, and all the accouterments (gloves, shoes, helmet with the mirror - yeah, I’m that guy). Then I grab my bike. This spring I bit the bullet and purchased a carbon fiber Trek Madone. I never thought that a man weighing 210 pounds would benefit from a lighter bike. Boy, was I wrong; after all the training rides, all I have to say is wow!
After last year’s ride , I couldn’t wait to ride again. The ride, the people, the experience were all simply amazing.
This year Balance Gym put together a team of 15 riders: me, Mark, Danielle, Nader, Devin, Rod, Monica, Jen, Lisa, Ed, Mike, Evan, Karly, Bryan, and Shannon. Our group was a motley crew of bikes and people: Evan riding a fixed gear, Bryan and his (very pregnant wife) Shannon riding a tandem, Ed waking up late and driving to Annapolis, and Rod on his Craigslist bike.
Given the risks and the fact that most of my income-producing power begins between my ears and ends up at my keyboard, I also picked up a helmet and a pair of bike gloves. And at 8:30 am on a momentous Wednesday, I began walking up the road to
Ruiz founded Brooklyn Bike Patrol, a volunteer-run escort service that provides women with safe walks from the subway to their apartment, after the string of sexual assaults that plagued the Park Slope area for six months last year.
Why would I? I've got snow pants, double layer gloves, and a fixed gear bike. I ride my bike to work every day, and as with recycling and eating local, there's a certain self-satisfaction that comes with an eco-friendly commute. But on days like this,
