Easy Care - Bike Top Bar Cover
What if the Bike Top Bar Cover gets wet?
No problem; let it air-dry.
- Adds USA-made artisan flair to any ride. Exclusive, all-original design!
- Helps protect top bar from scratches and dents when locking or leaning bike against a pole.
- Helps identify bike in a crowd. (After enjoying music in the park, when we hand the bike corral attendant our numbered tickets, we say “the bikes with the Pendleton® Fabric on’em” and ours come right away.)
- Fits most any bike! Clever design accommodates different and tapering bar widths, and works well around cables, pumps and other accessories attached to bar.
- Typically 20 in (51 cm) long by 5.5 in (14 cm) wide, with an additional 2.5 in (6 cm) gain due to relaxed length of elastic shock cords.
- For Men or Women. Bike not included.
- Cargo bike or tandem bike need an extra-long Bike Top Bar Cover? Electric-assistance bicycle has the motor integrated into a very large main bar? Contact Clodine Crafts to inquire about unique sizes in stock or a custom order estimate.

How do I attach the Bike Top Bar Cover?
Assembly is quick and easy! Done in minutes. Simply string shock cords through stays. See photo.
- Place cover around bar; if there’s fringe at one end, set it towards the seat.
- String end of knotted elastic cord through hole of bean-shaped cord stay. If needed, wrap the ends of the cords together with a small piece of tape to help string them, then tug gently to pull the knot through.
- Cords can rest snug or lightly loose. Okay to gently stretch cords. Avoid pulling hard on cords or fabric.
- Typically 20 in (51 cm) long by 5.5 in (14 cm) wide, with an additional 2.5 in (6 cm) gain due to relaxed length of elastic shock cords.

Easy Care - Bike Top Bar Cover
What if the Bike Top Bar Cover gets wet?
No problem; let it air-dry.
- If the Bike Top Bar Cover is exposed to rain or snow, let it air-dry on the bike. If there's concern about prolonged wetness, temporarily remove the cover to air-dry indoors.
- Before sewing, I wash the fabric in hot water. Few contemporary artisans labor this way, given the time, effort and that it requires more yardage. However, this process removes most (not all, but much) of the shrinkage. As a result, the item should not fade nor shrink easily, unless intentionally exposed to hot water for further shrinkage desired.
- The general Care instructions apply as well.
