Bike jock straps
Bike jock straps are the original style of jock. Before the invention of the athletic supporter, men would wear girdles made of rubberized canvas. This proved to be very irritating for the Boston Athletic Club, who found that riding the bumpy cobblestones in Boston caused insufferable chaffing.
A man by the name of Charles Bennet was the inventor of bike jock straps. By replacing irritating canvas with softer materials, his signature Bike Jocky Strap provided unprecedented levels of support to bike riders and horseback riders alike. His invention was so successful that he founded the Bike Company which became the standard in jock strap manufacturing.
Today, there are many brands of bike jock straps, but the Bike Company is still the most prominent manufacturer and seller. Over the last 100 years of its existence, Bike has sold over 300,000,000 jocks–which make them one of the most trustworthy brands around.
