Our unique design serves two functions: 1) as a tactile top tube protector and 2) as a shoulder cushion for those who prefer to "portage" their bicycle on their shoulder - whether you’re a crosscycling athlete or an urban commuter.
Like our other easy to sew on products, the Portage Strap comes as a kit that you stitch on yourself with pre-punched stitching holes, needle, thread, and instructions.
The natural oils in your hands burnish our high-quality American leather into a glossy patina that will last you a lifetime. You get to keep the patina you've earned: you can transfer it from bike to bike, and over the years it will only get more beautiful with use and time.
Fits standard bicycle frame tubing of 1.125" diameter (approximately 2.86 cm).
INSTALLATION: Watch our installation video on YouTube:

A great product, made by a company that really cares about all the little details. Products are great, accompanying videos clear and easy to follow, and such care taken to all the experience personal.
This thing is my favorite thing on my bike thus far. I wish there were more pieces of beautiful leather that I could stitch on. It is completely functional and fits perfectly with my other leather accessories.
I really like this portage strap. It makes carrying my bike up and down my narrow apartment stairs much more comfortable. It also looks very cool.
