Best Bike Travel Cases & Bags

No matter where you live in the UK, there’s some fantastic places to cycle - the call of further off destinations however, cannot be ignored. Whether it’s road cycling across the majestic roads of islands such as Majorca, or blasting down trails in the Alps - taking advantage of the ski lift systems to get up high, quick - there’s some terrific riding to be enjoyed around the world. 

There’s always a decision to make when considering journeying to the cycling meccas of the world - do you pack and transport your own bike, or borrow one when out there? In our personal experience here at Westbrook Cycles, we always travel with our own bikes wherever possible. We do this for a few reasons - it’s always better cycling on a bike you know, which has been setup the way that you like it. It’s unlikely that a rental bike will ever compete against the bike that you know and love, this is especially true with mountain bikes and downhill full suspension bikes which have been tuned to the rider. As well as riding an inferior bike, insurance and repairs can be costly if an accident was to happen.

In recent years, the bike industry has taken note of the number of people travelling with their bikes all over the world, via plane, train and boat - and as such, have developed a number of different bike travel cases and bags which do a great job of making bike travel easy, as well as ensuring your bike remains safe.
