LifeLine EVA Bike Pod
Highlights

Rigid / Semi-Rigid Road Bike Travel Case
Highlights
-
Bike Types: Designed primarily for road bikes. Bike fit will depend on frame size and dimensions.
-
Wheel Sizes: Accommodates standard 700c road wheels, with dedicated moulded areas for the wheels.
-
Protection: Rigid/semi-rigid construction with reinforced wheel sections provides good protection for the bike during transport.
Packing: Both wheels need to be removed. Some additional disassembly, such as handlebars and/or pedals, may be required depending on the size and setup of the bike. -
Transport: Integrated wheels/castors make the case easier to move through airports and terminals.
-
Compatibility Note: As this is an older-style case, members with disc-brake/thru-axle bikes or integrated cockpits should confirm their bike will fit before borrowing.
Before you borrow
Bike travel bags are expensive and can be damaged during airline handling. Members borrowing a bag are expected to:
-
Take reasonable care of the bag while it is in their possession.
-
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for packing and using the bag.
-
Return the bag clean and in the same condition it was supplied, allowing for normal wear and tear.
-
Tell the club or owner immediately if the bag is lost or damaged.
-
Have appropriate travel insurance, other insurance, or the financial means to replace the bag with a new equivalent bag if it is lost or damaged beyond repair while in their possession.
-
The borrower is responsible for the bag from the time they collect it until it is returned to the club or owner.
