Ha, never noticed that in the photo. The guy in that photo is making a mistake by carrying the bike with the driveside against his clothing. I always carry my city bike with the driveside facing outward (I grab the leather handle with my right hand).

I've had good success with Aliexpress vendors, but shipping times are a bit ambiguous (sometimes it takes a week, sometimes it takes a month).

I just found the same handle on Amazon Prime for $15. I would definitely pay the extra few dollars for amazon customer service and shipping times.
