Para volar con tu bicicleta, necesitarás una bolsa para bicicletas, una funda rígida o una caja de cartón. Comprueba las políticas de las compañías aéreas sobre las bicicletas como equipaje. Scicon ofrece opciones como la Aerocomfort, que suele registrarse como equipaje normal. Elige una solución que requiera un desmontaje mínimo, un embalaje y un transporte fáciles.

Las distintas maletas de viaje tienen diferentes ubicaciones para las ruedas. Algunas tienen compartimentos o ranuras en los laterales, mientras que otras tienen bolsas separadas para las ruedas. Una opción ideal es la Aerotech de Scicon, que tiene un espacio dedicado para fijar la rueda y evitar que se mueva y dañe el contenido de la maleta.

¡Sí, merecen la pena! Viajar al extranjero con tu propia bici puede ahorrarte las molestias y el coste de alquilar una. Utiliza bolsas o fundas para bicis como las de Scicon para embalar tu bici sin desmontar demasiadas piezas, manteniendo el ajuste y el rendimiento de tu bici. Estas bolsas también proporcionan protección contra robos y daños.

Para mantener segura tu bicicleta, guárdala en una bolsa o maleta adecuada y lleva las herramientas y accesorios necesarios. Investiga las opciones de transporte y encuentra la mejor solución de bolsa para ti. Empresas como Scicon fabrican diversas bolsas para bicicletas diseñadas específicamente para todo tipo de viajes.

Carefully evaluating the cost and value for money of a bike bag is essential. A high-quality bag provides adequate protection, preventing expensive damage to your bike during transport. Investing in a sturdy bag is especially important for high-end bicycles, as repair or replacement costs can far exceed the price of the bag itself. Always choose a bike bag that offers excellent after-sales support and a wide range of replacement parts. Bags are often mishandled during travel, and after a few trips, they may suffer damage or lose some components. Opting for a quality solution will ensure long-term peace of mind and protection.

Before departure, at home, take clear photos of your fully packed bag with your bike visible inside, ensuring it is properly packed. Upon arrival, immediately inspect your bag in the baggage claim area at the airport. If you notice any damage to the bag or your bike, file a claim with the airline at the lost & found office in the transit area before leaving the airport. Document the damage carefully by taking detailed photos. Contact Scicon Sports support by submitting a claim online (click here) and include the following: the Property Irregularity Report (PIR) issued by the airline, your passenger and flight details, and a description of the issue. We will provide you with an estimate, which you can forward to the airline for reimbursement.

If your bike is damaged during air travel, immediately report the damage to the airline's baggage service desk upon arrival. Document the issue with photos and retain all relevant receipts and documentation. Many airlines offer compensation for damages, but claims often need to be filed within a specific timeframe. Scicon Sports is not liable for any damage caused by improper use or mishandling by airport staff or courier service.

The market offers a wide variety of bicycles: road bikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes, track bikes, cyclocross bikes, and tandems. Each model has different frame dimensions and geometries, making it challenging to design a bag that can transport and protect all types of bikes. On the Scicon Sports website, each bike bag comes with a detailed technical sheet containing information about dimensions and features. Before making a purchase, always check that your bike is compatible with the chosen bag to avoid mistakes and ensure optimal protection during transport.
