    I recommend Gel fingerless gloves for warmer weather, they really protect your palms from falls!

    From my vantage point, a world away on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, you two are absolutely living the dream. What a luxury it would be to have all of Europe's cycling at your doorstep. Thank-you so much for sharing your adventures. I know it's a cliche, but I live vicariously through you. +1 for wearing cycling gloves, especially if you need to use your hands to make a living.

    Really feel for Kyle, I had the exact same thing last year I had just done my first ever 50 mile ride and two miles from home there was a ford that hardly had any water in so I went through, straight away the bike went sideways I came off burnt a hole in my bibs, ripped my jersey and had cuts and bruises all over me 😫 shook me up but made me more determined. Thankfully I had gloves otherwise it would have been worse. Keep up the great content.

    Heyy guys...another awesome vid. Like most, i highly recommend gloves & a small first aid pack. Both have saved me many times.
    You should consider some small cage type "pannier" bags that clip to your front forks. Can hold extra water, or take some weight off the back to even out the load...especially for your 1000 + milonies trip. Hope Kyle is doing okay.
    Love and best wishes from Sydney, Australia.

    Kyle's toughened by the bricks skin coming in clutch but I would recommend getting a little packable first aid kit, doesn't have to be massive, just a couple bits and bobs. Would be worth taking on the longer rides, Amazon has some cycling specific ones that are a bit more focused rather than having absolutely everything.

    When you get gloves, consider the lighter _unpadded_ ones. Some (like me) find the bulky gel / foam types cause more irritation than they're worth. They still protect from scrapes just fine.

    Gloves do help in a crash, but I rarely find gloves that fit my hands properly. I do occasionally find a pair that fit, and I use them for a while. But at some point they’re discontinued, and I have to go without until I find the next pair that fit.
