Hello- we been in Austin for 30 years now and live in Georgetown, TX for past 2. (Sun City) Just received 2 Rad Express5's for the wife and myself.  I ordered the Cloud9 Cruiser Gel seats, the LCD display, the phone holder so far...seats are an improvement and we like the LCD display also.  Just got the Rad phone holders..not sure about these yet..will install today and see about them. My biggest challenge now is packing them for travel.  We have an Airstream 28' trailer, and "thought" these would be easy to pack along in a plastic ben, between our twin beds...this is proving a bit challenging do to the size of these when folded. I found one size 70 Gal. at Home Depot, that someone here recommended...will try out today.  I have an F250 with a flat folding bed cover, but not sure these will fit unless I lay the bike down...may end up doing that with one.  Was hoping to find a soft side case perhaps, that would cover these and provide some protection rather than a plastic bin, but the handle bars present a challenge when folded.  Seems a solution needing to be developed for this model.  Busy next few days solving this issue.

We summer in WY area outside Jackson in Star Valley Ranch RV Resort, all summer and are looking forward to biking in the Tetons, Yellowstone, and Glacer in June/July.  We are looking forward to the fun and exercise with these Rad bikes.

Thanks.  I looked at that container today again at Home Depot...$59 I believe.  Heavy and not sure if it will fit in the Airstream isle.  I need to get one and see if it fits tomorrow.  I think a carry case would be easier to load/unload/store in the RV if there is one, but handle bars are an issue with this bike.  Some other brands folding handlebars are not an issue...if it isn't something, it's something else...so says Rosanadana...I will report back tomorrow.  Anymore ideas are welcome/appreciated!

Hi folks,
Newbe here..wife and I just got the RadExpand5's, and are looking to take them in our Airstream next week to WY and MT.  Looking for solutions for travel to keep them from getting banged up.  My take on dimensions for a storage bin is 20"W x 36"L; but finding who has a storage bin that can accommodate this size is a challenge so far today.  Started looking at zipper bags for transport, but nothing comes up that says "Rad folding bikes".  Any help on either solution is appreciated; not trying to brake the bank here, just protect these.  I plan to carry in the trailer or could put in back of truck on side or back seat perhaps, but remember, I have 2 so only one would fit inside and kind of a pain to get in/out of back seat....thoughts/help appreciated..
