Raleigh Twenty carrier bag -- for commuting via train

Hey All,
In my effort to try train commuting with my 1970 R20, I ordered this bag from Amazon:
Everest 40" Large Cargo Duffel Bag 4020
http://www.amazon.com/Everest-Large-...ref=pd_sbs_a_1

Last night, I folded the bike, and took the handlebars out, used velcro straps to tie the bike together, and then was able to slide the bike into the bag fairly easily. Carrying the bike in a bag seems so much easier than carrying the odd shape when it's folded.
I also think having the bike tied together (with velcro strap) makes it much easier to carry, transport, and handle when not in the bag.

As we owners know, the R20 does not have a compact fold, but this bag should allow for easier car transport, and hopefully allow me on the trains even during rush hour.
