Greetings /fa/,

I started biking to work in the city. It's a hardcore couple of urban miles. I am also paranoid... that eventually I will get jumped.

I've been slowly acquiring my cyclist essentials, and I am now looking for GLOVES. Here's what I want in my GLOVES

-KNUCKLE FORCE. Because one day I'll need to punch a motherfucker. Moreso they should look mildly intimidating on close inspection. I'm already pretty fit so the touch should help because I really don't want to get robbed

-CLIMATE CONTROL. Fingers get cold in the winter.

-UHH FASHION. help me out /fa/. Attached pic would dominate my overall aesthetic (no-no). Picture me in chino shorts and a navy polo. Bonus points for light-colored gloves (brown?) so I can personalize with a sharpie.

Anyone know what the fuck I'm talking about?

pretty much all black leather riding gloves will look dope. Just don't get anything too cheap/small or they will dig into the soft innocent parts of the tips of your fingers like all black thing do.

They're not heated but these are some of the best gloves out there that won't make you look like a power ranger.

If you can carry a gun don't waste your money on toys and go directly to carrying a gun.
Someone is probably going to balk at this but it is much more sensible than sap gloves or a balisong, or some shit.

this. if you don't live in commieville. get a p938, Shield, or just a CCW pistol. Since this is /fa/ the p938 actually meets a lot of aesthetics requirements. But there's other handguns worth looking into as well. 1911 is just my personal taste, yours could vary. And to note, pepper spray is something you use and run. Cops can beat the shit out of you and accurately shoot your corpse under it's effects. And tasers don't do shit.

If you're that paranoid about people, why not invest in a gun, or cop a motorcycle?

I could carry a handgun but some of the robberies that happen to people around here are coordinated fucking professionally.

One guy was on his phone at night (I'd be more aware) when 4 guys together took him down in seconds. Before he knew it he was on the ground, one guy put a gun in his face, another guy went through his pockets, and then they were gone. In the victim's words, if he had a gun it would have been just another item to get stolen. He had no chance. I would rather just look badass and get my dud phone stolen if someone has the unlikely balls. I don't even have pistol training and I don't know where I'd holster it. I'll keep it in mind though.

Bike gloves are already practical: my fingers get cold in the winter /fa/m

What are you even saying, mate? Re-read your post.
>If bad dudes come at me I don't actually want to successfully defend myself.
Okay then: don't carry a thing.

It sounds maybe you should move, if possible. Occassional street crime and robberies is one thing, every large city has that, but if it's actually common for gangs of four or five people to coordinate ambush-robberies like you described, just fucking move, bro.

If they've got guns you are screwed either way, because only a retard would get in your range before getting their gun out.
>would rather just look badass
>badass
Getting shot because of your own stupidity is the opposite of that.

reading this shitty thread, i'm pretty happy to live in no-gun land to be honest
these gloves are kind of effay tho >>12592752

But living outside of no-gun land means less fun and you're more likely to be a bitch, and life is too long anyway so run the risks, you can't win if you don't play.

The city is very segregated. The projects are adjacent to gentrified half million $ townhomes. It's common knowledge that alone after dark you are at risk nearly anywhere

I bicycle because parking is expensive and I like the workout. I already have a car.

Another reason I dont want a gun is because the day I have to pull it out, I have the burden of assuming that word gets around and the bystanders on my bike route know I'm carrying. I'd rather just be "that nigga with the gloves"

Just say you don't like guns and they scare you.
