"I wasn't sure when I ordered it if it had this wonderful feature. Having had other Bib longs that involved Herculean efforts to do the necessary from time to time, it was a nice discovery. Very happy overall and only lost one star because the fit is actually quite tight but that is better than Nora Batty wrinkling."
Pros: Durable, Comfortable, High Quality

"My first rechargeable was state of the art with a battery pack the size ad weight of a brick. This Moon light I could not believe was so compact and so well thought out. Not only the fact that it was ready for instant use, but things like the illuminated switch that pulses while charging and then when charged settles to a steady state so you know its ready to go.
The 4 levels of light intensity are interesting but possibly unnecessary for me at least. Full on, one lower setting and pulsating would be enough for me.
Loved it so much I have two now' one for the bike and the other for the helmet (the helmet mounting is fine) and both used together on a ride last week at 5am for an hour through dark deserted country lanes in Western France to pick up an early train to Paris (with my folder).
We are lucky to be living at a time when cycles and all that goes with them - like the Moon light - are getting so good."

Place your dirty bike in this bag before loading into your car/van and save yourself the trouble of cleaning up the mess after the bike has been taken out when you arrive home.

"He wanted me to envelope his bike for the flight from La Rochelle. Carrying it as he cycled to the airport I was so light he hardly knew I was there but on arrival I was ready to do my stuff. Easily and dramatically unrolled on the concourse he swiftly deflated the bike's tyres, slipped off the wheels and slid the bike into my open mouth. He flipped over the empty end and stuck it down with brown tape. They popped me easily on to the conveyor at check-in and there I was at the bulky baggage area at Southampton Airport waiting for him just an hour later. I think the fact they could see through me and that there really was a bike inside helped gain some respect from those baggage handlers. Then, slipping the bike out, putting the wheels back and air in the tyres we were back on the road just fine with me rolled up in his back pack.
He loves it so much I think we will be flying together again real soon
Love from Johns Wiggle Bike Bag"

"He was so poker faced as he fondled my 5 function multitool.
'so whats this for?' he asked as he unfolded the 3mm allen tool arm.
The unfamiliarity was not totally unexpected as he had already opened the puncture repair kit and said that he would need to get an opinion from his supervisor clearly impressed with the terrorist threat posed by a tiddly tube of glue and a pin used to mark the leak.
My bike was in France I said and I was at the airport on my way to France to collect it. Hence the tools.
Following a tense standoff he finally decided that while the multitool was a very neat bit of kit for the bike - for taking control of 100 passengers on an aeroplane it might be less useful - so I could go on with it - but with a final sting in the tail homelands security exercised its awesome authority by saying that these - a couple of cable ties - just could not go. So they didn't but at least the multitool did. No second order for Wiggle I am afraid."

Size
Does anyone know what this bag weighs,and how big it is both folded up and opened out?
Many thanks.
Karl.
Many thanks.

Its stout polythene and I would guess about half a kilo (bag of sugar)
Folded up about A4
Opened out it contains a road bike with nothing removed (like pedals etc.) with space all around and spare at the end to fold over and stick down with sticky tape.
It might even accommodate MTB even with the handlebars still in the ride position, as well as pannier racks in place.
I did contemplate disposing of the bag once used to save weight but it's so useful I have kept it for future use both on flights and putting the bike in the car
