Has anyone tried a Terracycle Tail Sok (http://www.hostelshoppe.com/cgi-bin/readitem.pl?Accessory=1083881989) on their bike?

If so, what are the plus minuses of them? They look neat:

I do not have a Teracycle Tailsok but I have a tailsok from ERRC for my Ti-Rush (Miss Ti-Lizzie) :D. I also purchased a tailsok from a young lady who has a sewing shop in Columbus, Ohio. (Ms. Janet Paulsen). Miss Paulsen adds a zipper in the top of her tailsoks for easy entry into your rack bag. The ERRC sok does not have such access. With the ERRC one has to pull back the sok from the seat. Not really a problem but the zipper is a nice touch. I noticed after I added the tailsok that I increased my speed approximately two (2) miles per hour. That was an unexpected addition along with the great looks and the number of "WOWS" that I have received. Well worth the expense.

Yeah, ERRC's are from Terracycle.

I also purchased a tailsok from a young lady who has a sewing shop in Columbus, Ohio. (Ms. Janet Paulsen). Miss Paulsen adds a zipper in the top of her tailsoks for easy entry into your rack bag. The ERRC sok does not have such access.

So, I could buy the framework and have this lady in Columbus make one with a zipper? What does she charge?

If she has an e-mail address, send me a private message with it.
