Transport bag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I bought a transport bag so that the bike is less bulky when I go with public transport. In Austria bike places are limited in fast trains but if I go with a folded bike it is free. Also for the car this is very practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"transportbag\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QpXhLU-gtak?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also a version for scooters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69da50505babc&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69da50505babc\" class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"449\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"http:\/\/bernhardherzog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/rhinowalk_scooter-1024x449.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bernhardherzog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/rhinowalk_scooter-1024x449.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bernhardherzog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/rhinowalk_scooter-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bernhardherzog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/rhinowalk_scooter-768x337.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bernhardherzog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/rhinowalk_scooter.jpg 1486w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I bought this <strong>20 inch tote bag<\/strong> (I will also link the <strong>26 inch <\/strong>version which has more space below and which I would recommend, esp. if you install the upgrades in this guide):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69da50505bda7&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69da50505bda7\" class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"869\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"http:\/\/bernhardherzog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/DSC02116-1024x869.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bernhardherzog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/DSC02116-1024x869.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bernhardherzog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/DSC02116-300x255.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bernhardherzog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/DSC02116-768x652.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bernhardherzog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/DSC02116-1536x1304.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bernhardherzog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/DSC02116.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption>bag is very compact when folded<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>First I <strong>fold <\/strong>the bike.
