This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
I had never seen one of these before today. They're great. Way better than reaching for a single pole in a crowded car and wrapping your hand around some stranger's fingers. And If you have the whole thing to yourself you can hook your arm through it.
Some NYC subway cars have double poles
Bonus: You should be able to put a hook around the bottom to hold your bag/umbrella. Someone measure the diameter of the pole so we can start making 3D printed hooks for this purpose!
Subway rider here. I will always have one arm through my bag handle. People often get stuff stolen on commuter trains in a lot of cities.
People yoink stuff and jump off the train right before the door closes.

Or yourself!
This is how you get hooked on 3D printing 👍

mildly drunken / jet lagged / other traveler slips hand into pole, somehow grabs the far one and positions their wrist between the other two. train stops, traveler is unfamiliar with riding trains, is thrown off by weight of bags, etc, arm snaps. what a great design.
Has that ever happened lol?
Call me crazy but I’m gonna say if you can’t hold a goddamn pole that’s on you.
