Rhinowalk Folding Bike Transport Bag (20 inch) Review
This bag solves a transport problem rather than a riding one. It is sized for folded 20 inch bikes and keeps chain grease off other people's luggage on a train or coach.
The verdictA light, cheap cover for a folded bike on public transport. It stops grease and scuffs, not impacts, and fits 20 inch folders only.
Rhinowalk's listing gives the bag as 83 x 33 x 69 cm and about 1 kg, sized for a folded 20 inch bike. That is the whole job: a covered folder that keeps chain grease and grit off seats and other people's bags. It folds into a pouch of about 37 x 21 cm, small enough to carry on at the far end.
Rail rules decide how useful it is, and Amtrak lets a folding bike under 34 x 15 x 48 inches ride in place of a bag. The UK's Avanti West Coast waives its bike reservation only for folders with wheels under 20 inches, so a 20 inch folder may still need one. Neither operator requires a bag, so its value is in cleanliness and in carrying the bike.
It has no padding or frame, so it protects against dirt and scuffs rather than impact. Checking a bike in it on a flight risks a bent derailleur hanger or rotor, and airlines such as United ask for a bike case or a foam-lined box. A full-size gravel bike will not fit, with or without its wheels.
Owners on Amazon US gave the listing 4.2 stars from 323 ratings in October, a figure shared with the 26 inch version on the same page. Choose the 20 inch option in the basket, because the larger bag sits under the same listing. Rhinowalk sells separate bags for 26 and 29 inch bikes.
