Bagging the bike (or, I should say, folding up and carrying the empty bag) is a PITA.
I have the MuSL and i have tried bagging it with the IKEA bag. it will cover the wheels and will wrap around the crank, but the seatpost cannot be fully down, and the handle post sticks outside of the bag. it might be adequate to say that is its bagged, but is a bit awkward to handle. compared to the El Bosa, the proper bag does make a big difference.
I had contemplated cutting a hole in the IKEA bag and using it upside down with the seat post sticking through it to push it along. that might work allowing you to push the bike.
I'm sorry about the images, my first post with pics. I will try to do it better next time.
