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.

You're both a stronger and tougher man than me. I find my twenty too heavy to carry in a folded state.
