I would buy one from the "original maker" of these. I have one that I bought, and the owner is a stand up individual.. Probably get a better deal too.

I got one from Chilowee. I like it, but it scratches up my levers, so I don't always keep it on.

Its a long leather braid, usually two or more colors, that hangs from your front brake lever. It attaches with a weighted bull clip that can be yanked off, you let the braid slide through your hand to the appropriate length and then whip it at offending vehicles.

Or, just decoration.

Basically it's a dog leash that you stick on the end of your bars or levers and let it flop around. The idea is that if a car is tailgating you, you flog it around telling the drive to "get back".
