Replacing the learning strap with safety cord

I just replaced the learning strap with this nylon rope from home depot with a carabiner. The purpose is to act as a safety cord when you fall off. My concern is with pavement riding on the regular streets. Don't want my wheel to go and hit oncoming traffic. A small inconvenience but a big insurance for safety.

I find it useful to have a quick detach method at both ends. It's often easier to detach from the euc and tuck the trailing strap/cord into your trouser pocket, it's less likely to be a trip hazard that way.

Agreed. I had it that way and it was making too much clicking noise while riding from the wind (at the handle). I will have do it differently, I guess. Thanks anyway!

This is how I've done it with a qd buckle to go around the euc handle and a caribeener for attaching to my belt.
