Put my bike in the travel bag preparing for some international travel. However, think twice if you plan on traveling with your Brompton G-Line packed in the Vincita sightseer travel bag on your back! It’s really really hard. 😢
Wow this will be a challenge 😬

One of the appeals of the Brompton (not the G-line but in general)is that they can be wheeled with the easy wheels in an airport or whatever. What do you do with this bag when you are on tour? Does it double as a front bag? I haven’t seen a front bag like that. Incidentally [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/foldingbikes/comments/1ryou0e/delivered_at_night_and_out_the_next_for_a_rest/) in foldingbike is about the Java Neo which goes a long way towards solving the “too heavy” problem. The also sell [a 20″](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYrbX2DdCiM) which can be wheeled in the closed position (which is something the G-line can’t do).
I have considered getting a Brompton because I can get a [Cyclone trailer](https://www.radicaldesign.com/cyclone-iv-chubby) from Radical Designs that doubles as a backpack and can hold the bike for airplane transport. It has a handle for hand towing. The point is that you shouldn’t have to shoulder the bike much if at all.
I just pulled a free ductaped carboard box w my bike inside to the airport, it was slipping nicely on the airport tiles
