I made a simple sleeve to go over the grips. If anyone wants to know the material I used for the protective sleeve....empty toilet paper roll, covered with duct tape. Hey, I'm from South Carolina...duct tape fixes everything. Still, being a computer geek, like your higher tech versions and the prospect of getting my tools out.

Depending on what type of bike someone rides that might be fine. With the bike laying down, its gonna slide around from time to time And if someone spent $2000 to $4000+ on a bike (especially a road bike), "throwing" it in the bed is gonna be a last resort. I aint about to throw my bike in the bed of my truck, I beat on it enough on the trail. But thats just my 2cents.
Just ride
