They are. We are finding it incredibly difficult to locate suitcases for our Bike Fridays. We hunted through stores in both Canada and Australia and were unable to come up with any big enough ... the biggest ones we could find would probably just fit within that 55 linear inch limitation. We talked to the shop staff in several places who told us that they don't stock the really big suitcases anymore ... but they might be able to special order one for us.

We ended up picking up a couple at one of the local tip shops.
