Puffy Bar Tape.

This is the story of Puffy Bar Tape. One day I had a
brand new bicycle and on this brand new bicycle was
pretty blue Puffy Bar Tape. One hot day I took out the
bicycle and left without my gloves. Oh, well, not
important. That is until I was sweating and my hands
were sliding all over Puffy Bar Tape, limiting my hand
positions and forcing me to use far too much muscle to
grip. I decided that Puffy Bar Tape had to go, and
purchased Velox cloth tape, a product I knew can
maintain a grip under stress, and costs one-fifth the
price. With a tear in my eye, I waved good-bye to Puffy
Bar Tape, waved frantically as Puffy Bar Tape remained
glued to my fingers, then watched Puffy Bar Tape
disappear into the waste bin. On the first ride without
Puffy Bar Tape I tootled merrily along my way. Then
realized, "My hands are not tingling." Yes, it was
always the case that thirty-five minutes into a ride
with Puffy Bar Tape at a particular bend on a
particular climb my hands would feel all tingly and
pins-and-needles, and I would be shifting my hands from
grip to grip as if I were trying to work with a hot
sauce pan. But now it was "Hands tingling? Nope, not
yet." and all the way home it was plain riding with
comfy hands. Good-bye Puffy Bar Tape, we hardly knew ya.
