Free trailer (& bike box) checkout for SFBC members
Who says you need a truck?
Don't let the light weight of a bicycle fool you. You can use your bike and bike trailers for carrying anything from your briefcase and groceries to that couch you bought at the thrift store. The SFBC maintains a fleet of trailers for free checkout to members only.
Want to rely on your bike for more uses, like shopping, doing laundry, carrying tools, potting soil, even moving furniture? You can! Load carrying by bike is empowering, fun and inspiring to others.

Bike Boxes
"I was pleased to find that it was a very nicely thought out case! The packing instructions clearly guided you to pack the bike in such a way that it was a perfect fit and safe from damage during the flight. There was a Velcro tie down for everything, so nothing was loose to scratch the frame! Thanks again for this great service to SFBC members!"

The SFBC now has 2 airplane/train bicycle travel cases! The 'hard case' model has a heavy duty plastic shell for taking your bike on transit requiring a packaged bike; the 'collapsible' box can be folded flat for easier storage while traveling. A $100 refundable credit card deposit is required for either box (members only!). Submit a reservation request (one week in advance) to reserve for up to 2 weeks.
