Bike Travel Bags

When you go on a trip by plane, by train, by bus, by ship or even by car and you want to bring your bike with you, you need to put it in a bike bag that protects the bike from possible impacts that it could suffer during transportation. How to choose the right bike bag? Rigidity: it is essential that the bag is made of impact-resistant materials and that the external part is reinforced or made of rigid plastic. The internal part must be adequately padded and have a shape suitable for the size of the bike and must have compartments and straps able to adequately support all the components of the bike. The bike bag must be resistant to scratches and bumps and must be waterproof. Dimensions: bikes do not fit into bike bags very easily and for this reason it is advisable to first disassemble all the components such as wheels, pedals, handlebars, fork and dropout. Before buying a bicycle bag it is good to take the measurements of your vehicle so as not to buy too large or too small. Internal safety: usually the bicycle bag is covered with insulating material and is equipped with support straps for the wheels and the frame. It is not necessary to have a lot of support since, in general, the suitcase will be enough when the bicycle and its elements are inserted, therefore, once closed, the content will not have much chance to move. However, we recommend wrapping the most delicate parts with plastic packaging. On our store you will find a wide range of bike bags from the best brands such as Evoc and Ortilieb.
