How the bike arrives safely during air transportation

It's exhausting to carry your bike in your suitcase to the airport and go through check-in. But the feeling of riding your own bike when you arrive at your destination is unbeatable. To make transportation easier, there is a clever bag from the Norwegian transport specialists Douchebag. This offers a mix of soft and hard shells.

A hard-shell case certainly offers the best protection for your beloved bike during air transportation. But where to put the bulky item when the bike is in use? Douchebag has given this a lot of thought. The result is the bike case "The Savage", which was developed with well-traveled athletes such as the Atherton siblings, among others.

The inspiration for the case lies in the roll cages of racing cars. A frame inside protects the bike and at the same time creates stability and structure for the bag. The so-called roll cage can be folded without tools and the bag can be folded and rolled up for easier storage, allowing the bag to be compressed by 35 percent of its size when folded. To ensure that the bike is safely stored in the case during transportation, the wheels must be removed and the frame firmly lashed to the roll cage, while numerous paddings ensure gentle transportation. According to Douchebag, many types of bikes, such as mountain bikes, e-bikes and racing bikes, can be stowed in "The Savage", with a maximum wheelbase of 130 centimetres possible.

Clever is also the option of clipping additional Douchebag bags to the bike transport case. This makes the hassle at the airport much easier.
