should you take your bike around the world no you shouldn’t wait okay all right here’s what you need the ideal bike for flying to multiple destinations is a folding bike like a Brompton folding bike two dimpa bags from Ikea you know in case one breaks you have another one coroplast corrugated plastic boards that’s going to give the dimpa bags rigidity four luggage straps a TSA lock maybe two a pedal wrench to take off the left pedal the left pedal folds and it can get damaged a bike multi-tool scissors for cutting stuff like coroplast a half inch or thicker yoga mat to cut up for padding definitely need an air tag so you can track the bike as it goes through checked luggage and below in the comments I’ll link to a blog post that has helpful measurements for the coroplast and how to cut it but if you can swing it you should really investigate renting or using a bike share because it’s so darn convenient nowadays instead of putting a bike through checked luggage
