Placed an order for 2 bikes today, starting to order components and accessories, ran in to a snag.
Plan is to take the bikes as checked baggage, do not want to deal with an extra suitcase. After reading numerous articles online of people successfully using soft-sided carriers and even plastic bags, I have convinced myself that the risk of using a soft side bag is minimal, worth taking. The issue is that the quoted folded dimensions of
29"L x 26"W x 15"H do not fit ANY of the 20" bags found on eBay or Amazon - including the standard Dahon bag. As the bike is irregular in shape, I was wondering if it might fit in something like this http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/folding-bike-carry-bag/69078.
Not shown in any of the online articles is the use of packing film
Office Depot Brand Stretch Wrap Film 5 x 1000 Roll Clear by Office Depot & OfficeMax - appears like a practical solution to me.
Thoughts?
