Once folded, your Birdy is easily transport-
ed in the trunk of a car, on trains, buses,
ferries and airplanes.
TRAIN TRAVEL
Some train services require that your Birdy
is covered up in a bag, especially if it is
carried on as normal luggage, rather than
placed in the luggage car or designated
storage area. Two Birdy bags are available:
the protective cover and the rucksack bag.
The protective cover slides over the Birdy in
one easy motion, and is closed at the bot-
tom with a pull on the drawcord. The cover
is made from tear-resistant nylon. Like a
poncho, it folds up very small into its inte-
grated mesh pouch, and is then fastened to
the bike. The rucksack bag is an ideal Birdy
accessory. Two large compartments carry
all of your belongings. Open up another
zip and another compartment opens up to
allow you to stow your Birdy. The bike can
then be easily carried with the padded shoul-
der strap or the carry-handle. You can still use
the other luggage compartments. It’s made
from extremely durable Cordura Plus.
AIR TRAVEL
We recommend that when you take your
Birdy on a plane you package it in a strong
box – for example, the box in which it ar-
rived at your dealer. The pedals should be
removed and packaged separately. Another
possibility is the use of the rucksack bag –
we recommend that in this case you use
plenty of additional cardboard and bub-
blewrap to protect against bumps. The rear
derailleur is the most vulnerable part of
the bike: we recommend that you unscrew
it from the frame, wrap it in bubblewrap,
and tape it to the frame so that it won’t be
vulnerable to impacts.
The Birdy suitcase has two small wheels
and can be used like a trolley because of its
telescopic grip. Before putting the Birdy into
the suitcase the pedals must be removed.
Because of the many variations of the Birdy
accessories (fenders, kickstand, carriers,
lighting) is may be necessary to remove
some of them.
