Hello all you Foldie Enthusiasts out there.
I found myself travelling to Portland, OR and I wanted to take my bike with me, because, quite frankly, you shouldn't be caught in Portland without a bike.
It took a while and not less than a few tries to get the bike situated in the suitcase to where the case would close easily. I thought I would share this video with you so that, should you find yourself in the same predicament, your life may be made a little bit easier.
A few things to mention:
- The Tern Link D8 comes with fenders and a rack. These will not fit in the suitcase. If you must have them you will either need another suitcase or a larger case. A larger suitcase will most likely incur additional airline fees.
- Let the air out of the tires if you are flying. This is so that they do not burst in the belly of the plane.
- Place all small items in a secure container. There is a very good chance the TSA will check your luggage and they don't have time to find nuts and bolts that fall out.

That's so cool and I never would have even thought of it. It can cost well over $200 to get a bike on a plane otherwise!
