Travel has been a big part and perk of my job for the past eight years. While it may look like us cycling journalists are just playing bikes all over the world, the saddle time is actually quite limited. For trips not surrounding a product launch, I like to bring a bike to get some miles in whenever possible. If I know my riding will be limited to mobility only, I opt for my Brompton. If I have a chance to go on an actual spandex-glad ride, I prefer to bring a full-sized bike. But carrying around a large, unyielding bike bag isn't optimal either. 

Since 2017, I've made bike travel easier on myself with the purchase of the OG Airport Ninja bag from Orucase — a stealthy black bag, complete with backpack straps, that meets most airlines' size requirements as a standard piece of luggage — 62 linear inches. I've hauled that bag on dozens of trips and its compactness isn't just great for skirting luggage fees; it's an asset when it comes to regular-sized Ubers, trains, buses and rental cars.
