check out the TranStrap!

for all y'all city slickers like meself, this is a great innovation:

it's a strap thingy you use to hang onto the bars in trains and buses.

great for short people and hypochondriacs!

good to buy as gifts for your bus/train-riding friends! I'm definitely getting a few (though I don't need one since i'm 6 feet tall)

to milk more money, they make a deluxe model that has a D-ring so you can attach their accessories, like the Reading Strap and the Transit Pass holder thing.

Though, i would recommend against getting the reading strap. it's so easy to just make your own reading strap attached to the standard TranStrap. I figure you can just use one of those detachable, nylon shoulder slings that most bags use and go with that.

You should hang yourself with it.

it's a strap thing you hang on those horizontal subway bars that people hold on to.

short people benefit by being able to hang on anywhere.

and germophobes can benefit by not touching the germ-ridden poles.

it just latches onto the metal bars that run along the top of subway/train/buses.. so you can hang on around the bends and stuff.. but a lot of buses/trains have them already.. or if you're tall like me you just grab the bar.

Is this a joke or something?
Hey, we see the humor value of the TranStrap. Our sensibilities tend toward the Daily Show and movies like the Big Lebowski, too. Fact is ? it's for real. We saw a problem and we devised a solution ? and it works. A few weeks into the product introduction, thousands of blogs, dozens of news outlets, and hundreds of customers from London to Tokyo agree. Sure, it takes an independent thinker to be one of the first to use something different. How do you think the first umbrella users felt when everyone else was walking around in oilskin capes?
