Southwest luggage policy is very clear that a case that meets the 62 inch criteria will not have an extra fee, even if it contains a bicycle (non-motorized). Bikes are listed under sports equipment at this link:

Cool. Thanks for the info. I was never really worried when checking anyway but it's good to know.
In my two boxes I mixed gear and bike parts. The soft gear made for nice padding.
My one-way ticket Washington DC to Milwaukee, WS was $104 including the two check boxes. I only carried-on a few personal items.
The only minor issue was that TSA mussed my already messy looking packing
