Riding to the beach, I wear beach shorts, tshirt, trainers and an open helmet. The risks are there but wtf!
When I stop at the supermarket and buy groceries when arriving home, I then ride home with no gloves, easier when holding the grocery bag too…!
And also sometimes when riding around town to dry the bike after washing it, I’m wearing no jacket so it feels like gloves make no sense?
Touring or on a ride, always gloves
