Bike Bra?

Before the English profs out there get me - THEIRS, not there's. oops

I am also thinking of getting one of these but I also would like to know the pro's and con's of this device. Thanks.🙂

Have any of you heard of these or used one? Nashbar calls there's a Bike "Bro" and Performance simply a transport cover. No, I'm not talking about underwear. You know, the lycra covers you can stretch over your bike while its on the roof rack. Are these worth the $$$. I'm considering one, but concerned it might act like a giant sail. I also wonder how much stress they put on brakes and shifter cables since you have to stretch the cover over your bars and shifters. Comments?

I have been using one for about 15 years and they are worth it if you transport your bike on a roof rack. They keep bugs, rain, dirt, etc. off the bike. If you don't believe me, take a look at how dirty the bra is after a few hours up on the bike.

I use a Yakima B-string but I don't think that they are available any more. Performance sells them for low $20s. Colorado Cyclist also sells the. When they get too dirty, drop them in the washing machine.

Thanks Fox Farm. 15 years sounds like a pretty good track record. I used my roof rack for the first time today and already have bug guts and bird, hmmm, (well, you get my drift) to wash of my head tube! So, no ill effects whatsoever to the bike in 15 years of experience? If no, sounds like a good purchase. Thanks for the input!
