For flying with my touring or hardtail I have the amazing Groundeffect Tardis but I although it folds quite small it still weighs over a kilo. I am cycling over the Alps and into Italy and to return by train the bike needs to be in a bag. I am super excited to find this MontBell bag. It packs to 16x8 and weighs under 300g. It’s really nice quality (although very light so it’s not going to be robust). For my bike i need to take the seat down a bit, wheels off and handlebars loose. This is fine. I will leave the rear dry bags and tool bag on, carry the front roll and seat pack. I am so stoked to find such a small light solution. Not cheap- of course- but as it means my bike is now hand luggage I won’t need train tickets so straight away it will save its own cost. So I wanted to share this with people who will understand why I am excited.

    Voila - the bag is fabulous. I would buy another just for the pleasure of using it. The drawstring at the bottom has its own little Velcro pocket to hold the gathered line. 5 stars.
