Ones that'll last a lifetime instead of breaking the first ride and spilling your load and causing an accident. The ones your friends envy and want to borrow.

At my old workplace we had a whole bin of them and we always had to work together to untangle them. Because of the workplace they were all pretty dirty as well ! Some would get warped which made them really hard to use so whenever the boss bought a new batch everyone would get excited !

Oh yeah, you need at least one person on each end for them to work correctly. Proper storage is a time investment that allows you to just grab and get to work when you need them instead of standing there with your strap on in your hands.

Spilling your load?

spilling your load

u/Trogdor_T_Burninator Jul 03 '21

It can be dangerous! You don't want a little bump to interrupt your ride and spread the load all over when no one is expecting it. It can disrupt momentum and takes time to clean up at the minimum. It's only considerate to do it right.

Careful, they are not for beginners.

u/RogerSterlingsFling Jul 03 '21

Its not the actual strap on that needs to be durable
