I asked the company if they made them..(was not able to find them anywhere)  they didn’t know what one was , so i mailed them mine. They used it as a prototype and mailed one back to me. I love it! I was asked to send in a pic and now I am on their website. Go to www.RunningFunky.com  click on products then on to bike seat cover. thanks for your support on this.\Paul Andreas, who is based in Kansas City, sent through this weeks club website.
