B&W International Bike Sack – Bike Sack (96250/N)

I had a cycling trip and I started looking for bike bags. The hard cases are entirely too expensive. This was a very affordable bag. I contacted my bike mechanic and he had an extra bike box. We took out the wheels and the pedals and custom fit the box to the bag. I then padded as much as I could.The bike arrived safely, the handle bars were a bit bent but easily fixed. When I returned, I put my bike on the bag again and it fit perfectly.There are two ways that can make this bike better: wheels and a longer shoulder strap. I will tell you the shoulder strap is unusable, you cannot properly carry the bag with that shoulder strap. If you add wheels, then the problem is solved. I think that would make this the best bag ever.In terms of durability, I saw some ripped and distressed areas. So, I think this could last maybe 3 other round trips and that it. But, it worked!I also put my shoes, bike pump and other little items in the bag. They fared well.I traveled through Jetblue (bad bicycle policy, do not travel! paid $135) and Delta (amazing bike policy! paid $30!). My bag weight was 48 lbs.UPDATE 1/18/2021: I used this bag for a third time. My bag weight was 51 lbs. It had my bike, water bottles, shoes, multitools, etc on this bag. So, it was pretty heavy. This was a one way trip because I was leaving bicycle in Puerto Rico to be there permanently. The airline (Delta) forgot to load up my bag on the plane. So, I received it the next day. It looked fine. There is some wear and tear in the bag but that is expected. I removed the box that I had put inside in my first trip and put the bag in my suitcase. The bag itself weighs about 6 lbs.I think this bag will still last me quite a few trips.
