Travelling with a BMX bike can be a bit difficult, especially when travelling by plane. And it can be expensive too. When an airline knows that you have a bicycle in your luggage they will charge you up to $100 each way. But don’t start to pull your hair out yet! Fortunately, there are ways around it and you don’t have to let that stop you from flying with your BMX bike. With the right kind of BMX bike bag and with the proper packing technique, you will be able to pass through check-in with no problems, and may not have to pay any extra fees. Here are a few BMX bike bag options to consider.
