I will be using an S&S coupled bike for touring; most of the trips will be point A to point B, say
Milan to Venice via the Lake country, Switzerland, and Austria. Since I will be ending at points
removed some distance from the point of origin I had thought of using the soft (backpack) case which
can be squeezed down and strapped to a rack. I am getting some pushback from friends who think the
soft case does not afford sufficient protection from airport baggage handlers. So.....
Anyone have experience travelling on airlines with the backpack case? Any issue with protection for
the bike? On the flip side, anyone travel with the hard case and forward it ahead to an endpoint?
What would be the best way to do so?
TIA,
