John Foss > My wonderful, wheeled, expandable, soft-sided unicycle luggage, available at your local flea market's luggage vendor for $30 or so. Caution: It's oversized luggage, but so far I've never had to pay for oversize, probably because it just looks like regular luggage.

John Foss > Inside the bag is foam to protect the frames, and foam panels to protect the bag's contents. The foam also obscures the fact that there are cycle wheels in there from nosy check-in persons. Also you can see my Camelbak and tool bag. Also you can see one of my Roach leg pads protecting one of the uni frames.

John Foss > Foam on the unicycle frames is more about protecting the bag than protecting a chrome finish. Miyata frames have pointy ends that will cut right through your bag if they aren't covered.

John Foss > Put the wheels in garbage bags. This keeps things cleaner, and also makes them slide in and out of the bag much more easily! For a more compact packing job, remove the frames from the wheels (put all the hardware bits in ziploc bags.

John Foss > The contents of the unicycle bag. Tools, accessories, riding shoes, safety gear and spare parts. And my foam panels. All of this probably weighed more than the standard 50 pounds for US air travel, but some airlines were only charging $25 for this at the time, others $50.

John Foss > This is pipe insulation, available at your hardware store for next to nothing. And some tape. Leave the seat post clamp on to protect the tubing. This foam protects the paint on my red Wyganowski Freestyle frame.

John Foss > Some more pipe insulation for my red Wilder frame. I'm still using this same taped-up piece of foam in 2008.

John Foss > Remember, anything small and hard can poke through your bag if things shift in a bad way. Keep ends and sharp things, like wheel axles with the cranks off, covered!

John Foss > When unpacked, the uni bag folds flat, and you can stick it in the closet or in the corner.
