It’s a carrying handle. Wait, it’s on a bike. I meant portage handle.

Mine is permanent.

I’ve never used it to “portage” my bike so I might try sewing a triangular tool bag for that spot. Probably someone in Portland sells one already.

I could have used something like this recently when I was trying to portage across the stepping stones along FMR. I had to turn back because I couldn’t get a good grip on my bike and felt insecure walking in slippery bike shoes.

I’m disappointed they don’t carry a vegan model.

Without a chain guard, you’ll be doing a lot of laundry this way.

And with a traditional triangle frame, just shoulder-carry the damn thing…

Ha! I have a 44 frame with a sloping down top tube so the diamond is insanely small. I can’t even use regular size squeeze bottles. Once you factor in bottle cages there isn’t any room left to throw an arm through. It sucks to be short.
