Commuter Diaries - get a grip

100_1548.JPGI have just discovered Oury grips from the States, introduced to me by my fixie riding American "buddy". If you are riding flat bars, riser or are a singlespeed / fixie rider, then these could be the grips for you! They are better for those with larger hands as they are thick, so much so that it actually feels like a small amount of suspension at the end of the bar. They are very comfortable and come in a massive range of colours from baby blue to shocking pink. There is even a "day glo" set, I shall have to get some for summer dusky rides. Check out the ox-blood set in the picture.

No proof of this, but wouldn't you imagine that the majority of drivers have ridden pushbikes at some point in their lives, even if only as kids?

BMX grips are without doubt, the comfiest... I run ANIMAL (US... not the petty clothing co.) grips on my single speed and BMX, and FLYBIKES grips on my MTB. I prefer a flange (ooer..), as it's something to rest against, but I know plenty who chop'em off. Ether way works, and they look damn cool!
