I got mine in February of 2011 and have flown my mountain bike from Florida to Portland, Oregon twice and to Vancouver, Canada once with it. I have a full suspension carbon fiber mountain bike and have not had any problems with the Pika Pack. It weighs 40 lbs with my bike, wheels, shock pump, and tools in it. So now I also put chest/back armor, arm guards, leg guards, and my shoes in with the bike and still come in under 50 lbs! My bike is a size small so I would recommend going with the bigger bag for mountain bikes. I have to let the air out of my tires and fork to get it to fit. The other bonus is it fits in the trunk of rental cars like a Chevy Impala or taxi’s. This bag is very well made and super sturdy. I highly recommend it.

Awesome bike bag! Easy to pack your bike in with good protection. I have yet to fly with it but was able to pack my bike on a interisland cruise here in Hawaii and do a bit of riding on Maui. Was able to summit Haleakala which was awesome! No questions from the security people when checking the bag in to the ship. Hopefully will have same results when traveling to the mainland with my bike in the near future.

I’ve had a Pika Packworks bag for almost 10 years now since hearing about it from a friend who was a USPS rider and he said it was the bag he personally used. I’ve flown with it and shipped it separately domestically and internationally 3-7 times a year and never any damage. It’s easy to store and light to carry, unlike a Trico case, which I also have. With a carbon frame bike I zip-tie foam tubing around each tube for extra protection. I don’t know if it’s really needed but for a few extra minutes, it’s additional peace of mind.

My wife and I have used the EEP bike bags for several years now on domestic and international flights with no incidents. The bag comes with simple, easy to use instructions for packing your bike. The materials are high-quality and have proven to protect our Cervelo R3s and wheelsets with no scratches, dings, or other problems. A nice bonus is that the bag unfolds easily for TSA airport inspection so you don’t have to worry about TSA pulling stuff out and restuffing the bag. The foam protection for the bike is ingenious.
The lightweight features means that you can pack your bike, helmet, shoes, and other tools (i.e., seatbag, etc.) without exceeding the 50 lb. weight limit for airplanes. My 58 cm Cervelo R3 with wheels, shoes, helmet, a couple of bike kits, and tools weighed in at 31 lbs.
As a side note, we have also used our EEPs to ship our bikes domestically via FedEx. Although we had some hassles with FedEx (misdirected shipping) the bikes - and the bags - came through fi

Just picked one up and I have already flown on 2 different carriers 3 times without any additional fees. At $125 a leg for the normal bike fee it’s paid for itself! Oh it works great as well with 0 damage to my mountain bike so far... But one and tell them it’s exercise equipment when they ask!

Agree w/ above. Hands down, THE BEST! Flown internationally and domestically 2-3 times a yr for past 5 yrs, w/ carbon bike and wheels, never a ding or scratch. Remove handle bar, strap to top tube w/ included top tube pad/strapping; remove rear derailleur, packs into included pouch; I zip tie chain to big chain ring to immobilize chain; remove wheels/skewers, and saddle/seatpost, you’re done. Excellent seat/tools/ storage pouches on both sidewalls, next to each wheel.
8 out of 10 times I get away w/out extra baggage fees. Last time I said, massage table, I’m a physical therapist. And that’s even if they ask. I have the bigger one, the smaller one is WAY under the radar. Will fit in ANY trunk. REALLY small and light. When you are carrying it on shoulder and not rolling, this also helps not draw attention.
I have the Trico hard case for when I ship bike ahead of myself w/ UPS etc. But this is just unbeatable. I’ve looked into many others, none beat it.

Hands down, the best bike case I’ve used. I’ve used it to transport a 58 cm carbon frame with carbon wheels overseas and domestically with absolutely no damage. Because the bag itself weighs less than 12 lbs, I’m never charged overweight fees. Every now and then I can avoid oversized fees by describing the bike as "sporting equipment." Disassembly is minimal and I can usually rebuid the bike in less than 10 minutes with only an Allen wrench (which I pack in with the bike).
