How have we not had a thread about this before?

What's a good bike bag for turning a folding ICE trike into luggage? Preferably without having to remove the front wheels...
I use
This if I want to bag my trike.
Radical do a much more epensive one
Here. I may get one to try.
To transport the bag on the trike. Just fold it in thirds and roll it up. It will then sit on top of the rack held in place by a couple of bungie cords.
The first time I used it I did take the front wheels off, but since then I just fold the back over and sit the trike on one wheel in the bag.
I don't think you'll even need to shortern the front boom to get the zips closed.
With the old fold I used to put the seat in the bag, but with the new fold and having sidepods on the seat I don't think I will.
On a mainline train I just leave it in the doorway passageway and move it from side to side away from the side which the platform is on. Wellingborough -> London
I also done the same with a folded trike that was not in a bag on non-mainline trains. London -> Oxford
Another option, which I have done, is to stand the trike on it chainguard in a doorway with the backwheel wedged against the roof. I did getting the 21:30-ish train from Brighton -> London.
As long as its quite and the main front-back passageway is not blocked, I find I get away with it getting a trike on a train. But having a bag does help with jobsworths.
Luck ...........
