Fly Your Bike Across the World with This Tough Case

Here's a pretty cool gadget i saw on Gizmodo today.

The problem of packing up your bicycle and loading it onto an airplane isn't likely an issue many of us face regularly, if ever. But if you do—and you've got $1,400—the AeroTech Evolution looks like a killer way to safely ferry your ride.

The case, made out of hardened plastic, fits a disassembled bike, allowing you to check it as luggage rather than paying extra fees to have it specially shipped. Now, a few caveats—the case is designed to be as compact as possible (given its cargo), but might surpass the size limits of certain airlines. And at 50 lbs with a bike inside, it's not exactly a roller bag. But it's durable and rather sexy, and a clean way of transporting messy gear.
