Funny this should come up now.

I just saw a guy with one the other day. Don't remember ever seeing one before.

All I know is when I see them things in bikes this comes to mind

I still have one in Club Colors hanging in my garage. It was a gift from a supporter to all of our Chapter's Members a number of years ago.

If I took it out on the road I would be looking at a Felony here in California. Out here, the cops started busting people for them about 5 years ago. Not worth the risk.

Did I miss the new fad of these whips? Are y'all seeing a resurgence in your area? Just curious.
Yup, I see a good number of bikes from both Alexandria & Shreveport, LA that are equipped with them.

Absolutely, these whips are not intended to be lethal, but more of an attitude adjuster for smart *** Canadians.

Really? I see them quite a bit around here it hey are isolated groups between here and Raleigh. We were joking about it last summer while riding in group rides...I will admit I don't go to Jacksonville a lot.

I saw one the other day, I do not see the appeal to them. They remind me of bicycle handlebar tassels those frilly things that where on the end of bicycle handle bars when I was a kid, only girls bikes had them....I carry a gun not some silly piece of rope!

Not in the West, might see one or two each year, mostly in town (Seattle) on parked bikes. We don't even see them on bikes parked at Taco Thursday at City Hall, Red Dog or Yella Beak. Traveled Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, California, Montana, British Columbia and Alberta last May-August. Never saw one. I did see something hanging off a Goldwing, not sure that qualifies.
