Latest bicycle case is inflatable

A new design of inflatable case promises to be a lightweight and robust way of transporting a bicycle.

Entrusting a bicycle into the care of a coach company, rail operator or airline is rarely anything other than a fraught experience and tales of bent wheels, scratched paint and damaged components abound.

If you have a receipt of carriage from your carrier, cycle insurance from ETA will pay for any damage sustained during transit, but that can seem of little consolation if you lose the first day of your holiday having to have the bicycle repaired.

The Biknd Helium case case can be wheeled and offers far more protection than the plastic bags required by most airlines. It weighs 11 kg and sells for approximately £400.

Cycle insurance from 33p a week

Cycle insurance from the ETA covers against theft, accidental damage and vandalism on a new-for-old basis and at a great price. It includes third party insurance, a bicycle breakdown service and worldwide cover at no extra price. Get an instant online quote below.
