  • I have one of those Evoc bags. On the Cape Argus it was like a 'who's who' of bike bags when they came off the plane, and tbh I was happy with my purchase.

    IMO/E, it's pretty airport dependant, though the OS luggage goes through a different 'chute' and pretty much straight into those weird 'pack of sim cards' shaped box (and straight from those boxes to the OS luggage bit at arrivals. You're safer if it's a popular cyclist route, as they'll take great care in stacking up the bikes vertically to ensure the space is maximised with all the other bikes.

    The armageddeon scenario, is, IMO that they chuck it horizontally flat on the floor then stack a Beckham entourage sized Louis Vitton luggage set on top. I think the idea of them being too 'chucky' with the luggage might be a bit of a stretch - especially with bike bags, all the handles etc are located to make handling it vertically the easier option.

    Oh, and spare (old unpuncutured) inner tubes in a figure of 8 with a circular cut out of an Estate Agent 'for sale' sign make for great wheel protector IMO.

    Oh, and get very busy with Tipp Ex and learn all the major translations of the 'Fragile, This Way Up'
