This enables the owner of a folding bicycle to comfortably transport the bicycle in its folded form for long distances in places such as train stations, shops, restaurants etc, where wheeling the bike unfolded is not convenient nor permitted.
It hides the bicycle from view and allows the owner to enter places otherwise interdicted to cyclists such as pubs, restaurants, museums, and underground transport systems (such as the Tube in London).
It also covers the bike so that fellow passengers on crowded trains don't accidentally get dirty clothes and therefore makes the journey a less unpleasant one.
How convenient is it to use?
In my experience, it adds 1 to 2 minutes at each end of my Monday morning commute, which is a long time compared to the 15 seconds it takes to fold up a typical folding bicycle. It pays for itself though when last minute platform alterations mean transporting the folded bicycle all the way to the other end of the station: the shoulder strap is quite comfortable after all.
The instructions leaflet that comes with the packaging allow the most compact fold, which fits neatly in the supplied saddle bag. But if in a rush, the bag can be scrunched up inside a rucksack or even its saddle bag.
The saddle bag comes with a light loop.
