Climbers slings... frsction of the cost, lighter and easier to store

Also you can get different lengths to suit

Hi I do think the carry straps are over priced

If the distance was long enough to theoretically require a carry strap, I'd either be riding or wheeling my Brommy - !

Not worth buying a strap for this one occasion, but I once blew a tyre (brake rub) outside Bank Station in London and needed to get to Canary Wharf. They made me fold my bike before I went through the gates, and it turns out it's about a kilometre walk. My shins were black and blue by the time I got to the platform.

(if this ever happened again, I'd just unfold when I was out of sight of the gates)

I saw the leather one. That was eye wateringly expensive

Never seen the point. It's way more comfortable carrying it by the frame than a thinner handle.

I never carry mine further than up/down stairs. Any further and I either unfold it and wheel it or, if faced with a jobsworth, extend the saddle and wheel it on the Easy Wheels.
