One technique we used to use "back in the day" was to cut an inner tube into a long tube, then slice it lengthways. Wrap the 'bars with this, then cover with cloth tape. Voila, vintage look, but with cushioning. No more numb hands. Failing this, I bought gell padded gloves from Nashbar.

Ok since most of us "goof balls" out there ride either on benotto, leather or cloth tape, what company exists that makes PADDED gloves that are worth a (bleep). My hands are numb and yeah I know I can hear it already....get tougher hands.
Inquiring minds really want to know!
