Thanks, it is funny that you suggest that. When we were in the process of moving to Barbados, I went to the local bike store and got two boxes that bikes came in, and shipped the bikes in those boxes. They did travel well, but that was on a ship. I want case on wheels, as going anywhere that requires more than one plane is a real pain. I also want to keep the size as small as possible, because folding bikes are starting to draw the ire of airlines. A few years ago, before folding bikes started to travel in larger number, I never had problems and was never asked about what was in the bag. Now, some airlines are talking about handling fees on top of the cost of the extra bag. Allot of the damage is from compression damage, from other things being put on top of it, while laying flat.
