Traveling might be a dream for some of us right now, but when it gets less tricky to do so, I’ll be hitting the skies for sure, and definitely with my bike. Not too long ago I asked you all about bike bags on Instagram, and which ones you had. We received a lot of replies but the more frequent ones were The Evoc BMX Bag, both the Traveler and Monogram Bags from Odyssey, OGIO, and my personal go-to, the DK “Golf” Bag. In case you’re doing some research, I thought it would be useful to put some of the stats down on these popular bags.
Do you need a bike bag? No. You can definitely get away with a cheap gym or hockey bag, but these bags are designed to protect your bike. From internal straps to secure your bike in place, to the protective shells built-in to lower the risk of damage when the flight crew tosses your luggage. The difference is significant if you’re willing to put out the money. For some of these bags, the added compartments for your tools and clothes are an added perk. Not to mention, not having to take your bike completely apart for some of these bags.
The EVOC BMX TRAVEL BAG offers perfect protection for your BMX bike when traveling, while at the same time boasting low weight. This makes our BMX bag the mobile alternative for storage to any bike box or bike case with maximum protection.
