CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] The present application is based on and claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/755,905, filed Jan. 3, 2006, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present application relates to a cycling glove, and in particular to a cycling glove with a fast release. The glove has particular application in situations where time is of the essence to remove hand protection, such as cycling patrols (police, fire, and emergency rescue workers) and in sports such as triathlons. [0003] There is also a need for a cycling glove that reduces impact on the carpal tunnel nerve. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] The present invention is a cycling glove with a fast release. [0005] A principal object and advantage of the present invention is that it can be removed quickly and easily from the hand in situations where time is of the essence to remove hand protection. [0006] Another principal object and advantage of the present invention is that the glove also has a groove over the carpal tunnel nerve that reduces road shock and hand numbness even over long rides. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS [0007] FIG. 1 is an elevational view of a first embodiment of the palmar surface of the glove of the present invention. [0008] FIG. 2 is an elevational view of the dorsal surface of the glove of the present invention. [0009] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the dorsal surface of the glove of the present invention, illustrating the use of a finger of the opposite hand to open the glove. [0010] FIG. 4 is similar to FIG. 3, with the glove opened. [0011] FIG. 5 is an elevational view of a second embodiment of the palmar surface of the glove of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT [0012] The present invention is generally shown in the Figures as reference numeral 10. [0013] FIG. 1 is a palm side view of a first embodiment of a left-hand cycling glove 10 in accordance with the invention. [0014] More specifically, FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the side of glove 10 that is adapted to engage the handlebar of a bicycle. While cycling glove 10 is shown as having short fingers, the invention also finds utility in long finger gloves, including gloves that are constructed and arranged for use in winter temperatures. [0015] In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the palm of glove 10 includes a plurality of pads that are each constructed and arranged in accordance with this invention. [0016] As shown in FIG. 1, the first pad 12, the thumb pad, extends approximately from the wrist to the base of the thumb and is somewhat in the shape of a balloon. The second pad 16, is essentially parallel to and spaced apart from the first pad 12. [0017] In the first embodiment, a third pad 14 extends across the palm at the base of the fingers. [0018] FIG. 5 shows a palmar view of a second embodiment of the cycling glove 10. In the second embodiment, the third pad 14 is not present. [0019] In both embodiments, the cycling glove 10 further comprises a carpal tunnel groove 15 between the first pad 12 and the second pad 16. This groove lies approximately over the carpal tunnel nerve and protects this nerve from road shock and hand numbness even over long rides. Continue reading about Cycling glove...
