Velo Safe II Pro-Series Bike Case

Traveling with your steed is a hair-raising event. And we're not talking about the rush of the race at your destination. Getting your bike on and off the plane without it being accosted by the airport gorillas can cause major anxiety -- especially if you have a window seat and get to watch baggage handlers load your case. Tri All 3 Sports' Velo Safe II Pro-Series Bike Case is designed to handle the rigors of travel.

This case is notable primarily because it securely packs two complete bikes. So, whether you're a triathlete who also travels with a road bike, a roadie with a time trial and road bike, or are just a traveling dynamic duo, you can fit it all in one. Now, we will tell you that due to the size and weight of the case, you will pay oversize charges on most domestic airlines. But, if you do the math, the charges on one very large case are still a savings over two cases.

Constructed from durable polyurethane, the Velo Safe Case features two opposing front quick-release fork mounts. You'll need to remove both front and rear wheels and the pedals to fit the bikes. Set in the middle of the case is a foam block that keeps your bike from resting on the chainrings. Once the bikes are tightly in place, you simple pull the handlebars off and twist them so that they fit next to the frames. If you have a taller frame you may need to remove your seatpost, but one quick turn of a bolt and you are ready to roll. Literally. The case features four durable wheels that make rolling it through the parking lot or airport a breeze. A hand strap on the front of the case makes pulling it behind you simple -- just be sure that people you run by in the crowded airport know that you have a "long load." It should be noted that if you have an ISP, Integrated Seat Post, you may need to purchase the Velo Safe Pro-Series ISP Bike Case.

We have seen firsthand the less-than-efficient method by which security examines our bike cases. And, unfortunately many times the latches arrive opened. The latches on the Velo Safe are easy to open and close, and two long straps wrap the case so that even if one latch is not secured, the case and all its contents will be safe.

Of further note, the Tri All 3 Sports Cases are made exclusively in the US, and the raw materials are recycled so you can feel a little better about your carbon footprint.

The Tri All 3 Sports Velo Safe II Pro-Series Bike Case measures 51in wide, 32in tall, 18in wide. It weights 35 pounds. It is available in Black.
