Title: Recommend Me A Bag

Or bags .  To put our new folders in when Mr Jobsworth at the railway station gets the 'ump and won't let us on the train with bikes.

The Raleigh/Avenir look OK at around thirty quid or so. Any others?

Depends on the folder but some Dahons fit in a blue Ikea bag and a second bag over the top hides it completely

I got this bag (http://www.foldingbikes.biz/html/bike_bags_boxes.html) (second down on the page) as an added (free) extra when I bought my latest Brompton from CH White - I didn't expect a free bag to be up to much, but it is in fact surprisingly rugged and effective.  It's a neat fit for the Brompton and more elongated folders wouldn't fit - however the other one just above might be more appropriate for the Dahon.  A bit OTT for regular use perhaps but fine for longer journeys - plus a bit bulky when rolled up.  There's also the Dahon ElBolso (http://www.dahon.com/intl/accessories/luggage/elbolso.htm) bag.

Both probably more pricey options than you want.  What about the Tesco "big green bag" or similar?

What about those checkered woven plastic 'bag lady' bags that Pound shops sell?
