When you pack your bike in a bike box or bag ready to jet off on an exciting riding holiday, you place a lot of trust in that vessel.

That plastic/fabric construction is going to carry your pride any joy over land and ocean, and it’s likely that the holiday at the other end depends upon it arriving safely. And, of course, you do want your beloved to have a safe trip.

Travelling with your Bike: Bike Bag, Bike Box, or a Cardboard Box?

There are many different bike bags and boxes available – but the Evoc Bike Travel bag is a little different to most – because it offers the sturdy protection of a box, but is lightweight and packable, like a bag – making it easy to transport and store year round.

We had a go at packing one, to see how easy it was. The builder, we can promise, possesses little to no mechanical skills, so you can assume most people with little knowledge of the system could figure this out.

If you are using a different bike box or bag, the basic steps will remain the same, though you may have some slightly different features.
