THE B2 BIKE TRAVEL CASE IS DESIGNED TO MAKE TRAVELING WITH YOUR BICYCLE MORE CONVENIENT

The B2 builds upon our trusted and proven fee-avoiding platform of the original Airport Ninja. We improved the usability of the B2 bike case, making it accomodate a wider variety of bikes (up to XXL 29er enduro rigs!), upped the protection, and added wheels increasing the ease of portability. All these changes led to winning a Best of Sea Otter Award from Bicycling Magazine.

THE LIGHTEST BICYCLE TRAVEL CASE ON THE MARKET

The B2-R weighs in at just 15 pounds, meaning you have 35 pounds of gear you can store in this case while staying under the airline weight limits. Most other cases weigh 35 pounds empty. 

THE B2 IS EASY TO USE

Packing the B2 requires only one additional step over a traditional bike case, and this reduces the overall dimensions by two linear feet compared to a traditional bike case. 15 minutes of packing can save as much as $500 in additional baggage fees on a round-trip flight.

IT'S THE MOST COMPACT TRAVEL CASE - SAVING ON NOT JUST AIRFARE, BUT CAR RENTALS, AND ACCOMMODATIONS

The size isn't just important for saving on bike fees. The B2, as well as the Airport Ninja are the only bike cases that fit within the dimensional requirements for Amtrak and Eurail trains, they fit easily in the trunk of any size rental car or taxi, and will travel conveniently on public transportation such as the subway or bus. Also unlike other bike cases, you won't need to dedicate an entire closet or corner of the garage to store the B2 when it's not in use. The B2 can be disassembled in seconds and packs down to a fraction of its full size, allowing it to easily fit wherever you need it.

HARDCORE PROTECTION TO KEEP YOUR BIKES SAFE FROM THE AIRLINES

The compression-molded base with aluminum rails adds rigidity to the length of the case, while the stiff compression-molded foam armor panels protect the sides from even the most serious side impacts. This case meets all airline requirements for flying with a bike.  As always, having your prized possession arrive in one piece is non-negotiable. Not only are the protective materials of the B2 engineered to withstand the onslaught of travel, the case is designed from the ground up to smartly avoid common hazardous scenarios. It’s lightweight, with ample carry straps, and convenient wheels mean airline employees and TSA officials can easily move it around without pushing or dropping it. The zippered closure and intuitive packing configuration means that TSA won't leave the case in disarray, The all new B2 is the obvious choice…

About our Bike Rentals

Bike bag rentals, our personal story: .

THULE ROUNDTRIP TRAVELER BIKE CASE

After college, we decided with some friends to fund raise for our local charity by cycling across the United States. We flew to Florida with our bike to start this fun and challenging experience. Once we booked our flights, we all rushed out and purchased high-end bike bag for this legendary biking trip. The financial costs of these bike travel bags was around $600 per bag. The bike bag worked, though after trip, our bicycle bags sat in our respective closets and basements only to be pulled out when searching for other objects. Every time, we saw one of these bike bags, we thought, “Man, what a waste. I don’t need this bag anymore, it just takes up space. That was an expensive one time use.” From this glorious but costly trip, the seeds of Rentluggage were planted.

OUR SERVICE

Our service is simple. Select a rental bike bag from our online catalog, pick the period of time you need the rental bag for, and when you need it delivered. We ship the bike travel bag to your doorstep. Our bike travel bags can work for such cycling as mountain biking, cyclocross, track cycling, and BMX racing. Once your rental period is over, simply place the bike bag in the original shipping box and drop it off at a FedEx store with a RentLuggage provided prepaid return shipping label attached.

The list in brief ↴ 1. Best overall 2. Easy to use 3 . Best value 4. Most portable 5. Most versatile 6. Most robust

Advice How we test

Riding new roads and exploring different places bathed in warm sunshine is one of the great joys of cycling, but getting you and your bike there safely can be the most stressful part of a cycling holiday . Some riders choose to hire a bike whilst on holiday, but for others, part of the attraction is the opportunity to ride their familiar bike up famous climbs or through beautiful landscapes - no one wants a week of cycling spoiled by an ill-fitting bike or uncomfortable saddle.

If you decide to fly with your own bike, then you have the choice of using a hard box or a soft bag, each with pros and cons which we will investigate below. If you choose to drive to your destination instead, however, you can read our guides to the best bike racks for cars  and the  best caravan and motorhome bike racks .

Best overall

The AeroComfort's soft exterior houses a metal structure to which you fasten your frame so it's held securely. There is very little disassembly required and as the bag is pretty light there is plenty of potential to pack extra kit inside and still be within your airline's limits.

Read more below

Best for ease of use

As the Evoc Bike Bag is soft, it's light and easy to store when not in use. There is plenty of padding provided to protect your bike when it's in the bag, and the large side opening makes it simple to put the bike in place.

Best value 

Very light and compact, LifeLine's EVA Bike Pod also offers excellent value for money. Its semi-rigid design offers more protection than a soft bag but they are still quite flexible and as it only has two wheels it can be a little awkward to manoeuvre around an airport.

Most portable

Another light option, the Orucase B2 even includes rucksack-style straps which are handy if you have packed very light. There is a fair bit of disassembly required though and it can feel a bit lopsided when wheeling it around.

Best with integrated stand

Thule's RoundTrip Pro XT bike bag uses an internal frame that can also double as a workstand whilst on holiday, which is very handy. It's more of a reinforced bag than a hard case though and as such is quite pricey.

Most robust

One of the heavier boxes available, the VeloVault2 provides very reassuring protection for your bike. Its quality construction and overall sturdiness will ensure that your lightweight carbon frame should emerge unscathed, but there might not be much weight allowance left once this gets on the scales.

Best bike bags and boxes for cycling travel: Our picks

Scicon Aerocomfort 3.0 Bike Bag

1. Scicon AeroComfort 3.0 Road Bike Travel Bag

Our expert review:

Specifications

Reasons to buy, reasons to avoid.

The AeroComfort 3.0 from Scicon is a firm favorite among the Cycling Weekly tech team. We've flown test bikes all over the world, and we like to use this carry case because it makes travelling by bike easy, hassle-free and incredibly quick. It takes just 15 minutes to pack the bike away, and even less time to put it back together.

How so? The outside is a soft, fabric bag, but inside you'll find a metal structure. You simply remove the wheels, loop your chain over a specially designed T-bar and use your quick releases to stand the bike on the metal frame, so it's immovable inside and thus a lot more secure. It couldn't be easier.

There's no need to remove anything aside from the wheels, the handlebars stay straight and don't need twisting. This does make the front end quite bulky, but we found that the protection is good, with a thick soft fabric, designated pockets for wheels, helmets and shoes, and most importantly the rear derailleur is kept off the ground.

Evoc bike travel bag

2. Evoc Bike Travel Bike Bag

Whilst hard cases give the ultimate reassurance that your bike is well protected, they also take up a lot of room when out of use, and, they're heavy - limiting your ability to pack kit alongside your bike and stay within airline limits.

Enter soft cases, and this Evoc bike bag is an excellent option. Yes, it offers less protection - but the Cycling Weekly team has used it to transport press bikes on plenty of occasions (NB, we once even used a cardboard box for a personal bike, the theory is that baggage handlers will be more careful!).

This Evoc Bike bag excels in terms of ease of use, too. The side opening makes getting the bike in a cinch, and the handy Velcro makes getting the parts in the right place a piece of cake. The newer model reviewed here now has a reinforced front zip, meaning it should last longer.

Read more: Evoc bike travel bike bag full review

LifeLine EVA Bike Pod

3. LifeLine EVA Bike Pod

Although it's a reasonably compact bike box, the LifeLine Bike Pod will take a smaller-sized bike without too much disassembly. It rolls on two rear wheels, with two front feet to stand on. Quick-release wheels, although not wheels with thru-axles, can be secured to the outside of the case.

Our tester found that the LifeLine Bike Pod is relatively easy to move around, although since you have to lift the front end and the carrying handle doesn't let you wrap your hand through it, longer carries can be tiring. 

The sides of the bag are quite flexible, so it would be advisable to wrap wheels and frame well inside to prevent crushing. We were also concerned about how robust the feet would be and how well the zip would stand repeated use, but overall, the LifeLine Bike Pod is a relatively inexpensive option for the less frequent flyer.

Orucase B2 Bike Travel Case

4. Orucase B2 Bike Travel Case

We've taken the B2 bike case on several domestic and international flights and were left impressed. It sports many welcomed features, including backpack straps and a rollable chassis. Combined with its compact, space-saving size it makes for a sleek, highly portable and trustworthy bag that we think is a great option if space is limited or you'll be traveling on serval modes of transport during your trip.

We did find that it's not the easiest to pack, and required some disassembling of your bike - so you'll need to be confident of putting your bike back together once you've arrived. It's also far from cheap, but in our opinion, it's likely a worthy investment given the ease of portability and the posibbility to save on extra fees due to its smaller size.

Most versatile

Thule Round Trip Pro XT bike bag

5. Thule RoundTrip Pro XT Bike Bag

The Thule RoundTrip Pro XT falls into the not-quite-a-bike-bag category. It's a softshell but has some structural implants that should keep your bike safe through the worst of it.

However, the bag does have some weak areas and for the price you pay this doesn't induce confidence. But, maybe we're being picky. This is a solid purchase, undoubtedly, and we always add extra bubble wrap around our frames, whatever we're packing them into.

The base, which holds the bike static in the case, can have three legs added, transforming it into a workstand for when you get to your destination - which is a rather 'nice to have' too.

Read more: Thule RoundTrip Pro XT review

Blue Velovault2 bike box

6. VeloVault2 bike box

We really liked the VeloVault2 bike box when we had it in for test. It's big and robust, which is what many cyclists need to achieve peace of mind when flying with a bike.

However, weighing in at 12.5kg means it should sneak under most airline weight controls. The company has sweated the small stuff, too: the clasps are quality, it's easy to close and it rolls well.

VeloVault2 bike box has a new carrying handle, longer wheelbase, improved strut design and it is roof box ready. Oh, and it's now bright blue... other colours are available if that's not to your liking.

How do I pack a bike into a bike bag or box?

Packing the bike into the bag or box sometimes takes quite a bit more effort than expected. The process may differ slightly depending on the specific box or bag, but the general process goes something like:

- Remove the pedals - Partially deflate tires and remove the wheels - Remove the seatpost and saddle - Remove the handlebar from the stem or remove the handlebar and stem together from the steerer - Undo rear derailleur (but leave it on the chain) - Secure the frame and components in the box via the manufacturer-approved method - Pack the tools required to rebuild the bike!

There are a few more mechanical adjustments you might make, and if you’re handy with a spanner they shouldn't cause too much grief. For example, you might have to remove the chainset. This will keep it protected en route but it’s worth bearing in mind that you’ll have to reassemble it when you arrive on your hols, so if you're no spanner wizard it might be best to avoid this. It may also mean packing extra tools, which means extra weight to carry around.

Best bike bags vs best bike boxes: which is better?

You might think this is an easy question: it's surely a box, right? However, that's probably before you’ve taken weight into consideration.

A lighter weight bike bag influences two things: how comfortable it is to carry and lug about but also how much of your baggage allowance it eats into - and how much the baggage supplement might be.

The trade off is in the level of protection: a hard flight case like box is going to take the knocks better than a soft bag. That said, soft bike bags will usually protect your bike from the worst of it and they also tend to be cheaper than bike boxes.

There is an in between option. The best bike bags tend to have some more structural inserts inside but retain more of a bag's lightweight nature. Other bike bags can have nifty, in-built storage techniques. For example, some have built-in dropouts that allow you to stand your frame upright and hold it tight.

Do I need to add extra padding to my bike bag?

Regardless of how tough your bag or box might be, you’ll definitely want to pad the important parts inside it. We’d recommend bubble wrap and foam piping. If you’re lucky, your local bike shop might have excess from all the bikes they get sent in. Don't forget to put it around the frame in places where other items in the box might rub against it.

Riding in the mountains

A good bike box or bag has to tread the line between providing the best protection for your bike and yet still being light, easy to carry and simple to pack. These boxes have been used to carry various bikes on multiple flights, being packed and unpacked several times each. They all protected the bikes from any transport damage and none were particularly difficult or awkward to pack but each has its advantages and disadvantages that may clinch the deal for you.

History & Founder George Yates

History & founder george yates.

Visionary father George Yates Jr. secures the original patent on the 5 gallon plastic bucket everyone uses today. Plastic bucket was designed to replace metal floor wax containers. This was the beginning of the growth of the plastics industry and George Yates Jr. was interested in plastics.

George Yates Jr. helps design and manufactures a flexible plastic fender in partnership with champion motocross/off-road motorcycle racer Preston Petty for use on motorcycles.

Son George R. Yates is a Category 1 Bicycle Racer in California.

George R. Yates competes in the first of 13 Hawaii Ironman Triathlons.

George R. Yates finishes 7th in the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon.

He finishes 8th in the World Championship, Nice France and is ranked #9 in the world by The Association of Professional Triathletes.

Rheumatoid Arthritis attacks George R. Yates’ body and he spends the year in recovery. The story of his recovery is highlighted in 3/89 Readers Digest story titled “Heart of an Ironman”. After recovery, George is not able to sit on typical hard Italian bicycle saddles. Father George Yates Jr. creates saddle padding gel called Memo-Flex enabling George and thousands of other cyclists to use traditionally uncomfortable bicycle saddles. This would be the beginning of many years of success for Trico in selling gel filled saddles, gloves, shorts and even Fellowes computer keyboards in addition to Iron Case soft cover and hard cover travel cases.

George R. Yates travels across the country and Europe as a professional triathlete carrying his bicycles in the Iron Case Soft Case. It didn’t provide enough protection for the expensive bikes transported on airlines, so his father George Yates Jr. went to work again to design a safer case.

George R Yates expands his retail network as the Southern California sales representative for Ross Labs’ Exceed energy products and sales representative for Trico products.

The first Iron Case hard case was introduced becoming the best selling hard cover case among traveling athletes in the world.

George R. Yates starts personal trainer services to triathletes and motorcycle racers.

Trico introduces the Split Rail Adjustable saddle

George R. Yates starts interactive video personal training services which he continues to do today.

TricoSports celebrates 5,000 retail partners selling products ranging from Memo-Flex saddles to Iron Case bicycle cases.

George Yates Jr. dies, George R. Yates downsizes the company and drops the Memo-Flex production due to increased EPA regulation and Asian competition.

Trico Iron Case upgrades components including stronger buckles and straps.

Iron Case manufacturing continues but marketing is postponed as George R. Yates recovers from a serious motorcycle racing accident.

With a new name, Fitmore Iron Case embarks on a new marketing program including new mobile ready WordPress site, social media campaigns, outbound retail efforts, and related  promotions.

TESTIMONIALS

“We used the iron case to transport our bikes from USA to Pau France for the 2012 l’Etape du tour.  The bike arrived in excellent condition.  The packing was easy and we were able to fit shoes helmets and water bottles along with the bike. Everything arrived home without a scratch”

It protected my bike even after I think it ran through an airport baggage machine! That’s a credit to the design of the product and the materials used. It’s a top notch case. MT Sidney Australia

“I got a Trico off a friend used, he told me one of the large plastic snaps had come off/broke and to call Trico about buying a replacement. Not only did I not have to buy it, but they sent it for free and sent me an entire replacement kit (straps, buckles etc…) even though I had bought it used.”

“My Trico case has lasted longer than any of the bikes I’ve had…six different bikes.”

“Well, more than bullet resistant. I’ve had mine since 1997.”

“I love my Iron Case. As a Tour guide for Beer & Bike Tours, I have used it on many multi day adventures and every time I fly with it my bike shows up in perfect shape.”

New Citi Bike fee increase goes into effect in NYC

NEW YORK (WABC) -- The cost to rent a Citi Bike ebike in New York City went up again Wednesday morning, which is the second increase in the last six months.

The increase comes as Citi Bike says there have been higher than anticipated battery swapping, insurance, and vehicle expenses that have made ebike fleet operations more costly than planned.

Citi Bike said it is working to build more charging stations throughout the city to reduce the need to swap batteries so often.

Annual, monthly and daily memberships will all stay the same.

The ebike fees went up 0.24 cents a minute.

That's a 0.14 cent increase from January.

Overage fees also went up $0.24 per minute.

See the full list of price changes here.

The crash happened around 3 a.m. at the store off Powers Ferry Road and Parkwood Circle.

Employees told Gehlbach that surveillance video shows a rental truck smash through the front doors before four men got out and tried to grab the ATM.

Cobb police said the suspects tried to use a large chain to remove it from the store, but failed. You can see the ATM on the ground near the entrance, which police have blocked off with crime scene tape.

Police said the suspects had already left the scene before officers arrived. Investigators have not released a description of the suspects or the truck at this time.
