Worth packing

Cruiser Candy bike seat cover

Cruiser Candy

A drawstring cover for a cruiser seat. The listing opens on black velour.

Why it's on the list

A bare vinyl seat is how the ride home hurts. The cover we opened is about 11 by 12 inches, with a drawstring, sold by Cruiser Candy Boutique. The color on that page is black velour. The menu also has faux fur. If the fur sheds, it stays home. Shed is moop.

How we use it

Drawstring on before you ride. It comes home with the bike. A cover is not a lock, not a light, and not a flag.

Heads up
Faux fur that sheds is moop. The velour we opened is the one that stays on the seat. It does not turn a racing saddle into a cruiser seat.
