About the product:
This Planet Bike GEL Handlebar tape comes in a variety of colors
so your bike looks good. The tape features soft, durable
construction with GEL to ensure comfort in your hands while
riding. When wet the tape becomes tacky to keep you from losing
your grip in the rain. It is also fade and water resistant so you
can ride rain or shine without damaging your handlebars. This
tape is easy to put onto almost any handlebars and allows you to
customize your bicycle with your favorite colors!
About the manufacturer:
At Planet Bike we dream about bikes. We dream about people
riding bikes: riding to work, riding to school, riding bikes to
the grocery store, concerts, sporting events, coffee shops and
grandma's house, too. We also dream about the day when all
cities and towns are safe and convenient places for cyclists.
The reasons that we love riding and want others to share the
love are as numerous as our pedal strokes. The sport of cycling
thrills us; but, for us it's equally thrilling to unlock the
potential of the bicycle as a simple and efficient means of
transportation. Riding in place of driving reduces air and noise
. It boosts endorphins and clears the head. Riding
strengthens the cardiovascular system, gives you good strong
legs, and burns extra calories, to boot. Besides all that, it's a
whole heck of a lot of fun.
Planet Bike was born from the heart of cyclists and our goal is
to create innovative products that make it easier and safer for
people to ride bicycles. The products we design are rooted in
this dream. Riding through day, night, heat, cold, rain and snow
helps us come up with products that make sense, work, and are
practical.

lifetime warranty.
About Planet Bike
In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison,
Wisconsin. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment
that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way.
Instead of being just another company that develops and sells
products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help
bring about positive change for people, their communities, and
the environment.
Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have
always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help
improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the
start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which
seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities
friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of
company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle
usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact.
Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of
a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high quality, and
practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, they strive to design
and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the
company's short ten year history, they have made important
product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements
include the 4-line computer which is now a standard in the
industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad
for a company that ten years ago started as a one man operation.
Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to
evolve and improve their product line with the goal of always
striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to
ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of
the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010,
they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that
are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.
