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 pollution. 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.

Very comfortable handlebar tape Excellent handlebar tape. Very soft and has good cushiony feel, much more so than traditional cork handlebar tape. Purchased the celeste color and it was bright and vibrant. Had plenty of tape for my 42 cm bullhorns with extra tape left over. The handlebar tape feels great while riding and provides optimal comfort and grip. Definitely one of my favorite handlebar tapes and I will buy again once this one wears out. One thing to note is that the back is NOT adhesive. Personally I like that…

Four time user, highly recommended I just used this tape for the fourth time, and I will happily continue to use it in the future. I ride in all sorts of conditions, and lately a lot on rough gravel roads in the rain: My bar tape never enters my mind, which is how it should be when something so basic is functioning correctly. It’s easy to apply, very forgiving if you need to un-wrap, re-wrap a few times before you get it right. I really appreciate the variety of colors. I haven’t ever had hand or wrist pain issues, so I can’t…
