Fat bike transport bag

When I rode my road bike I had a black canvas bag that I used to transport it in the car or by air, and it worked really well. Is there such a thing for fat bikes? I think I saw one in a YouTube video but can’t find it now. I would also think that with the weight of many fat bikes (twice as heavy as a road bike) such a transport bag might come equipped with wheels like a suitcase on at least one end. If anyone knows of a bag like this please let me know.

Thanks,
Tom

Don't understand clearly what you mean. I think, it's more comfortable to use several bike bags (a frame/ a top tube/seat bag).

Is it going on a plane? Guys I know who ride in Utah and Alaska get them shipped by mail in a box. I don't know anyone who just carries their fatbike in bags or cases

There's one I've seen advertised heavily on fb for the past few months. Lycra looking deal that you slip over your bike wheels/tires and all to keep your apartment/house/car cleaner when you bring the bike indoors. Bikesleeves dot com Is that what you're referring to? If so, I'd be interested too...would be nice to find a bag to use when sliding my fat bike inside my car with it's studded tires on. Those really can do a number on a car interior.

I don’t think I ever took it on a plane, just in the car. It added a measure of protection to the bike and probably some to the car or adjacent luggage, etc.

I don’t think Lycra would have the strength or thickness to provide much protection, and by the way this was before the internet ever existed - some 40 - 50 years ago.

So I checked out bikesleeves.com and that is nothing like what I’m talking about. My bag fit the entire bike with the front wheel removed and secured beside the major frame triangle. It had a side pocket for incidentals and a shoulder strap for easily carrying the entire “package”.

On thinking about it some more, it wasn’t that long, so maybe both wheels were removed and secured on either side of the frame. It was fairly wide since the handlebar was not removed.
