I'm hoping to come on the next of these Private Tours. Anyway, I need some advice on how to make my bike suitable for carrying on the train back.
Basically, you need a bike bag. There are various models at different price levels, but IMHO the best is http://fairmean.com/
A cheap, big and heavy bag will make riding way more annoying than a small one you put in your pocket and forget until you need it.
Honestly, a super small, lightweight one is the way to go. You will thank yourself when you are slogging up a mountain and you don't have an extra kg thing the size of a rugby ball strapped to your frame.
Also, if the bag/bike cost ratio is an issue, you can easily solve this by getting the mega-expensive bike you truly deserve.
a fairmean or pandani bag
I have the Tioga and Mont-Bell bag.
Tioga takes minutes to get my smallest bike in (and some patience) - The Montbell takes seconds - as well being a fraction the weight.
They both do. I have the one-wheel-off (quick carry) version, which fits easily into a jersey pocket or bottle cage.Ah, which Mont-Bell bag do you have?

One of these?
If so, does it pack down small enough to get in a back jersey pocket?
My lips are sealed.LOL, I have taken to wearing the wheel bag of my Pandani over my head and shoulders as a tight poncho on the way to meeting the lads every Saturday morning when it is freezing cold. Don't tell anyone though; it is kind of a fun little thing I do that nobody knows about. I wash all the lipstick and eyeshadow off as well, at the Family Mart on Route 2 before I get to the river, and take the bag off so my secret is safe.
