An anchoring system for a craft according to one embodiment includes a first portion for forming a first loop around a handlebar, the first portion having a free end; a second portion for forming a second loop around the handlebar, the second portion having a free end; and a cross member extending between the first and second portions, wherein a length of the cross member is selectively adjustable. Tension exerted on the free end of the first portion causes the first loop to exert a wrapping force on the handlebar when wrapped therearound. Tension exerted on the free end of the second portion causes the second loop to exert a wrapping force on the handlebar when wrapped therearound.

What is claimed is: 1. An anchoring system for a craft, comprisinig: a first portion for forming a first loon around a handlebar, the first portion having a free end; a second portion for forming a second loop around the handlebar, the second portion having a free end; and a cross member extending between the first and second portions, wherein a length of the cross member is selectively adjustable; wherein tension exerted on the free end of the first portion causes the first loop to exert a wrapping force on the handlebar when wrapped therearound; wherein tension exerted on the free end of the second portion causes the second loop to exert a wrapping force on the handlebar when wrapped therearound, wherein the first portion includes a fixed loop, wherein the first loop is formed by wrapping the free end of the first portion around the handlebar and through the fixed loop of the first portion, wherein the second portion includes a fixed loop, wherein the second loop is formed by wrapping the free end of the second portion around the handlebar and through the fixed loop of the second portion. 2. An anchoring system as recited in claim 1, wherein the first portion wraps around a section of the handlebar located between a first grip of the handlebar and a longitudinal center of the handlebar, wherein the second portion wraps around a section of the handlebar located between a second grip of the handlebar and the longitudinal center of the handlebar. 3. An anchoring system as recited in claim 1, wherein the wrapping force exerted by the first loop is about equally distributed about a periphery of a part of the handlebar in contact therewith, wherein the wrapping force exerted by the second loop is about equally distributed about a periphery of a part of the handlebar in contact therewith. 4. An anchoring system as recited in claim 1, wherein the fixed loop of the first portion has a twist therein for urging the fixed loop of the first portion to lie flat against the handlebar when the first portion is exerting the wrapping force thereagainst, wherein the fixed loop of the second portion has a twist therein for urging the fixed loop of the second portion to lie flat against the handlebar when the second portion is exerting the wrapping force thereagainst. 5. An anchoring system as recited in claim 1, wherein the cross member includes two pieces and a coupling device coupling the two pieces together, wherein the coupling device allows selecting a length of the cross member. 6. An anchoring system as recited in claim 5, wherein the coupling device is coupled to one of the pieces at a location distal from a point of coupling of the piece with one of the first and second portions. 7. An anchoring system as recited in claim 5, further comprising a guard coupled to the cross member, the guard being positionable between the coupling device and a portion of the craft. 8. An anchoring system as recited in claim 1, wherein the cross member is selectably positionable along at least one section of the first and second loops. 9. An anchoring system as recited in claim 1, wherein the first portion wraps around a first grip of the handlebar, wherein the second portion wraps around a second grip of the handlebar. 10. An anchoring system as recited in claim 1, wherein the cross member is rigid for limiting the first and second portions in directions towards and away from each other. 11. An anchoring system as recited in claim 1, further comprising a first guard coupled to the first portion, the first guard being positionable between the first portion and the handlebar when the first portion is wrapped therearound; and further comprising a second guard coupled to the second portion, the second guard being positionable between the second portion and the handlebar when the second portion is wrapped therearound. 12. An anchoring system for a craft, comprising: a first portion for forming a first loop around a handlebar, the first portion having a free end; a second portion for forming a second loon around the handlebar, the second portion having a free end; and a cross member extending between the first and second portions, wherein a length of the cross member is selectively adjustable; wherein tension exerted on the free end of the first portion causes the first loop to exert a wrapping force on the handlebar when wrapped therearound; wherein tension exerted on the free end of the second portion causes the second loop to exert a wrapping force on the handlebar when wrapped therearound, wherein the cross member is selectablv positionable along at least one section of the first and second loops, wherein the cross member is slidably coupled to the first and second loops such that the cross member is able to slide along at least a portion of the first and second loops. 13. An anchoring system as recited in claim 12, wherein the first portion wraps around a first grip of the handlebar, wherein the second portion wraps around a second grip of the handlebar. 14. An anchoring system as recited in claim 12, wherein the cross member is rigid for limiting the first and second portions in directions towards and away from each other. 15. An anchoring system as recited in claim 12, further comprising a first guard coupled to the first portion, the first guard being positionable between the first portion and the handlebar when the first portion is wrapped therearound; and further comprising a second guard coupled to the second portion; the second guard being positionable between the second portion and the handlebar when the second portion is wrapped therearound. 16. An anchoring system as recited in claim 12, wherein the first portion wraps around a section of the handlebar located between a first grip of the handlebar and a longitudinal center of the handlebar, wherein the second portion wraps around a section of the handlebar located between a second grip of the handlebar and the longitudinal center of the handlebar. 17. An anchoring system as recited in claim 12, wherein the wrapping force exerted by the first loop is about equally distributed about a periphery of a part of the handlebar in contact therewith, wherein the wrapping force exerted by the second loop is about equally distributed about a periphery of a part of the handlebar in contact therewith. 18. An anchoring system as recited in claim 12, wherein the first portion includes a fixed loop, wherein the first loop is formed by wrapping the free end of the first portion around the handlebar and through the fixed loop of the first portion, wherein the second portion includes a fixed loop, wherein the second loop is formed by wrapping the free end of the second portion around the handlebar and through the fixed loop of the second portion. 19. An anchoring system as recited in claim 18, wherein the fixed loop of the first portion has a twist therein for urging the fixed loop of the first portion to lie flat against the handlebar when the first portion is exerting the wrapping force thereagainst, wherein the fixed loop of the second portion has a twist therein for urging the fixed loop of the second portion to lie flat against the handlebar when the second portion is exerting the wrapping force thereagainst. 20. An anchoring system as recited in claim 12, wherein the cross member includes two pieces and a coupling device coupling the two pieces together, wherein the coupling device allows selecting a length of the cross member. 21. An anchoring system as recited in claim 20, wherein the coupling device is coupled to one of the pieces at a location distal from a point of coupling of the piece with one of the first and second portions. 22. An anchoring system as recited in claim 20, further comprising a guard coupled to the cross member, the guard being positionable between the coupling device and a portion of the craft.
