I have seen soft cases with a long shoulder strap that looked really good, I
believe that they were specially made. They weren’t very complecated. It does
depend on the size of your wheel, my 26" can be a little bit of a pain some
times, as the wheel just won’t fit in the new British Rail luggage racks.

I met a guy in Oxford (in a pub, while I was half baked) who wrode a 20" uni
delivering dispacted in Oxford as a living, my friend pointed out that he did
well because he didn’t have the same problem as other riders as he did not lock
his uni up! he obviosly believed that the theives could not ride. As a side
point he was Fast!!! we went for a wiz and I had to really go for it to stay
with him on my 26"

Here at Bristol Uni there are a few of us who ride around on ours (20 -24" in
general). Those who cycle in in the morning either lock them up outside, or just
carry them into lectures and balence them against a wall at the front / sides…
no objections from the staff to speak of.,… I shouldn’t see why taking a uni
around classes should be a probelm, as long as its not a distraction… just
keep it under the table :wink:
