Can I use a soft-sided bike bag when traveling with my bike?

No. For travel by plane, train, bus, or boat, a soft-sided bike bag does not meet the hard-sided case requirement.

To be eligible for accidental damage coverage during this type of transit, the bicycle or e-bike must be protected in a hard-sided case.

Soft-sided bike bags may provide convenience for packing and transport, but they do not offer the level of protection required under the policy for common carrier travel.

A hard-sided case is not required for auto transit when the bicycle or e-bike is properly secured on a vehicle rack.
