Not sure why you would carry the bike with the chain against your pants though!

I've had a stainless steel version of that on my bike for 10 years.I used the water bottle bracket mounting screws to secure it.Damm,I should have patented it!

I think a velcro loop would do the same job a lot cheaper.

I forgot to mention, mind the oil on your trousers from the chain and sprocket wheel.

If you reach down a bit further you can grab the horizontal bar (chain stay). I would try that first before buying into this.

what stops the front wheel from banging back and forth?

I hate to say this but why not take a discarded road bike inner tube, cut it to create a cord, then tie simple knots at the same frame location to create a free handle that is water resistant, free, and has a little give to it as you carry it? You can also do the same thing for foot straps. Just thread the tube through the pedals and tie a knot in it to make a retractable, elastic, foot strap that is water resistant and free. Can you tell I love inner tubes?

$35 creates a lot of incentive to just make a handle out of something else, like strong rubber tubing, as someone already said. We don't need it in fancy shmancy shmeather. I'm thinking a rigid piece of ABS plastic with heavy-duty velcro straps.

It must be useful for inverting the bike to repair punctures etc.
@haikunick - thanks for that, I've just had to replace my (Made in PRC?) inner tube which failed in 3 places within a month of use... Had foot straps on my old racer, better get that tube to use!
Anyone know what that chain in the main photo is? looks interesting...

@haikunick, I agree with you on tubes. I have used dead tubes for numerous jobs on the bikes, cars, and around the house. I have made basic gaskets to protect metal finishes and replaced a worn-out plastic hinge with a tube glued in its place just to name a few.
@wle, I'd say your free hand would be a good candidate.
Back on topic. While others have pointed out that you can accomplish this using your own, likely cheaper, materials, don't forget that there are people out there that actually care about how their bike looks and would rather put a quality piece on that matches other components.
