OK, listmembers,

Was I the only one who tried this in 1970?

At Beloit College we wrapped the bars of my Viking with ordinary foam rubber, maybe a half-inch thick variety, then went over that with the old leather bar wrap. It made for a slightly larger bar grip, but it was softer and hey, that was in the "pre-glove era".

I also marvel that I used to be content to ride in jean shorts!

Ridin' indoors,
