Subject: Bike Travel Bag - Why Not This Cheap One? With permission from The Bear to ask away with my bike newbie questions, I am trying to be ready well ahead of a trip where I am flying with my bike. I am on southwest, so even though there's no way I can see getting a bike under 62 total package inches, it's a cheaper alternative than most. Looking into bike travel gear, I'm a bit spooked by the high price, but then again, I'm not riding a $5k bike, I'm on a Raleigh Revenio, a $1k bike.I still don't want it crushed obviously. When I find a deal online that is a huge price discrepancy from everything else, I get skeptical, but if it meets my purposes, why not? Is there any reason I shouldn't consider this bike bag at a fraction of the cost of others? If I measured correctly, I can fit my bike into this with the wheels off. Next question: how mechanically inclined do I have to be to learn how to break this thing down for packing? |
