Is the wheeled, hardside travel case still available?

[metak8]

Pondering flying with folding bike - is the PPTC  wheeled, hardside travel case still available? If yes, what are its interior & exteriors dimensions and how/with whom could I arrange borrowing it? If not, does anyone here know of other options (other than the obvious purchase of a new or used one)?

Yup, as others have mentioned the Pedalers have cases available for rental from the club. And we are working on a billing system that will use the club's credit card processing ability and our available tech to create a booking and billing system that's more modern.

We are looking into the possibility of having two tiers of box rentals moving forward: the legacy hard cases and some newer Orucase soft-sided cases that protect just as well and work within baggage guidelines for pretty much all airlines, globally. The Trico and Thule cases the club currently has are great, but they're also tanks that have logistical issues in various ways (e.g. size, weight, inability to store easily once at your destination).

Stay tuned!
