I know Brompton sells one but it is $350 which is ridiculous,
I haven't located a substitute suitcase (try and say that three times quickly
), but I haven't been looking very hard. Todd, of Clever Cycles fame, suggests gate checking them; he tells people it is an "adult inline wheelchair"
Others have checked theirs using the soft sided bag and have reported no problems. Most of my up coming travel is via car, truck, van or Amtrak, so the hard side is not a requirement at this point.
