When I was looking for full-fingered gloves, I considered getting a pair of M-pacts but since I couldn't find them locally I opted for motorcross gloves. You have to be careful though - certain mechanics gloves are a bit too rigid to be comfortable while biking. If you take a look at their site, you'll see that Mechanix breaks down their product line according to application. The M-Pact line are listed in the racing category, and most others. http://garage.mechanix.com/detail.aspx?ID=2 When my biking gloves wear down, I'll probably get a pair of these. Since I don't face too many hazards elsewhere, I'll stick to cheap Craftsman or the basic Mechanix gloves for all other uses.

My biking gloves breathe way better than my mechanix though. And the bike ones have small pieces of towel sewn into them for drying off the face on hot days (or snot in Jaxx's case). You might even be able to find some bike specific ones on clearance since it is nearing the end of the season. At least it is ending soon where I am.

They look about the same as bike gloves, but are considerably cheaper. I've been thinking of getting some... I don’t suppose anybody has used mechanic’s gloves for bicycling?

The picture shows a pair of Mac Tools Foose workgloves on a pile of Craftsman tools. Like Mel says, they're made by Mechanix, same as Craftsman. I'll bet Foose's cut is more than the Craftsman glove's sale price. Interesting. The picture shows a pair of Mac Tools Foose workgloves on a pile of Craftsman tools.
