Hi,

Need to travel from manchester to london very soon and thinking of buying a bike bag are they worth the money and do they make travelling with a bike less hassle rather then taking the bike complete?.

Look forward for some advice.

Cheers Jay

    Might want to say how you plan on traveling. Are you going by train, by plane or by car?

    For one journey couldn't you put it in a suitcase?

    Merlin are doing the Evoc bag for £210 at the moment if you expect to do more travelling.

    Really depends on how he plans to get there.

    Flying, yes a bike bag is extremely useful. However, by train, I would much rather have the bike ready built since no security or check in points.
