I had gotten an email or something to alert me about the tikit recall. I hope yours is fixed ASAP.

Nope. Almost impossible to get the bike in, and downright unpleasant to carry in my experience. I don't use the soft case much at all.

Someone needs to snap up this bike!! Otherwise, I'd be tempted as another commuter (but I don't *need* another commuter).

My soft bag fits fine; I think there are different sizes. It's awkward to carry in the bag. It's great to put inside the case, pack the bike, and then zip up the bag. Keeps everything neat in the case. I bought my bike in 2008.

Yes, we didn't use the soft cases for carrying; they have no padding and the sharp parts of the bike would just bang against your body! But they were great for keeping the grease off the trunk of our small rental car (Ford Focus) and quicker/less bulky than the hard cases would have been. We left the hard cases in NC at my Mom's house and just packed the bikes back into them with all the parts wrapped and well padded at the end of our trip. So there's a time and place for both types of cases. :)

Sold on eBay late last week. Thanks!
