Bicycle Travel Bag Rental
As someone who's passionate about cycling, I understand the importance of keeping your bike safe and secure when traveling. I have extensive experience taking my bike on work and leisure trips, including checking it as luggage on flights. I offer bike bags for rent, with two different types available to suit various bike types, intended use, and budget. My reasonable weekly rental rates allow you the flexibility to return the bag at your convenience. I'm also available to provide advice on packing your bike to ensure it travels safely through the airport.
These bags can accommodate most road bikes as is (including my 61cm frame, fit snugly), and many mountain bikes with some disassembly required, such as removing the handlebars and fork. Larger MTB frames may not fit.
If you're interested in renting a bag from me, simply reach out via email at matt@emeraldcycling.com or text me at 248-525-2829. I'm happy to guide you through the rental process and answer any questions you may have.
Scicon Aeorcomfort 3.0 Triathon Travel Bag
This is a premier travel bag specifically designed for airplanes and with extra room for aerobars. Other than taking the wheels off, you do not need to disassemble the bike, although I've noticed that on my extra-large bikes, I need to fold the handlebars in to get the zippwe to close. But for smaller bike frames, it should all fit without making any adjustments. Because of the size of this bag, it might not fit in every size rental car.

$100 per week payable 1 week prior to rental; $800 refundable deposit.
Scicon Soft Racing Travel Bag
This is a travel bag suitable for road bikes and smaller MTBs. I've used this one a number of times on an airplane with no damage, and it's my go-to for most traveling. It fits in nearly every rental car I've had if you can lower the rear seats. If not, if you can fit the bike frame in the trunk space, you can probably fit this bag. There are no wheels to roll it with, so be prepared to carry it but there's a shoulder strap to alleviate that burden.

Due to limitations with the credit card processor I use to keep costs down, I must ask that all deposits be paid in cash and/or Venmo. If this poses a significant problem, speak with me, and we'll try to work something out.
