Review on Rustic Leather Bicycle Frame Handle - Handmade Bourbon Brown by Hide & Drink: Bike Handle for Enhanced Comfort and Style by Mike Krzywicki

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Must have for city dwellers (unless you live on the ground floor).

I live in an apartment on the second floor of an old brick house with a narrow staircase. It changed my life. Before I bought this grip I had to hoist the bike onto my shoulder and was struggling to keep my balance, to keep my long hair from catching on the bike and to keep the front wheel of the bike from rocking when I hit a heavy one carried burden. an old used bicycle climbs the stairs every day. My back hurts. My shoulder hurt. Tire tracks accumulated on the walls of the stairwell of my house. My bike is still heavy, but it's a million times easier to just reach down and grab the handle than tossing the bike on your shoulder. I take my bike more often because it's not that difficult to get it down the stairs. I have to lean the bike up or down a bit to help it clear the steps, but they clear the steps. PS: I love the leather but it doesn't fit my bike and I don't recommend it to my vegan friends. . I wish this handle was nylon too
