Bicycle Portage Strap

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).

SPARE PARTS: Replacement stitch kits, double-sided tape, and leather care dressing available in our Parts section. 

COLORS: Honey, Dark Brown, or Black

THREAD COLORS: White, Dark Brown, or Black

MATERIALS: Vegetable-tanned leather, waxed thread

DIMENSIONS: Appx 13" long by 3 3/4" wide. Fits road frames with 1 1/8" diameter tubing. The strap on the down tube is 3.5" long and on the top tube is 4.5". Please measure your bike to make sure there is enough room between cable braze-ons, if any, for the 4.5" strap on the top tube.
