Birdy (bicycle) - Transit Capability

Transit Capability

A Birdy can fit into a standard airline-legal 29-inch suitcase, but this requires the pedals, wheels, and rear rack to be removed. Some Birdy owners have had difficulty fitting both the bike and the rear rack into a standard suitcase, and recommend the larger 31-inch format. When fit with thin racing tires and short pedals, the bike can fit in a suitcase with less disassembly. With a larger case (designed specifically for the Birdy), no disassembly is required. A standard slipcase must be used on some trains and buses.

The Birdy's dimensions are: Width: 35–39 cm Height: 58–61 cm Length: 76 cm to 79 cm

This is small enough to take into businesses, on buses, and to easily pack for travelling. However, it is too large to fit in a locker or most overhead bins. It is the second smallest of the quality folding bikes (behind the Brompton), and is similar in size to the Mezzo performance folder.
