I recently found a need for a new piece of luggage, and decided I
wanted it to be the size for carrying onto an airplane. Almost all such
luggage has wheels, which is nice. However, In getting to the airport
I plan to use my bicycle, which poses a problem for carrying the
luggage --backpack
straps don't seem to exist on such luggage. And
when I went to a sporting-goods store, they had lots of backpacks, but
none had wheels for smooth terrain.
Time to post an Idea to the HalfBakery! (Done!)
Similar to these?

Nice Googling. Why didn't any store associates I asked
about them, know about them? NOT WKTE, therefore! |
|
| |
Or maybe the store associates didn't mention that they
exist because they don't carry them and are hoping that
you'll give up and just buy what they have. |
|
| |
I new they existed, but I don't know if I am wide enough to
count. |
|
| |
Toyed with the idea of bamboo sections with Castors* that'd snap together to take all the weight of the backpack. |
|

// NOT WKTE, therefore!// You're right. And, now that I think of it, wouldn't it be cool if someone made backpacks with some kind of zip fastener? |
|
| |
A zip fastener? - yes, if only some could invent the zip
fastener... |
|
| |
Presumably someone french ... |

Possibly use multiple Toblerone bars, but the teeth are set a bit wide these days. |

If you are burly enough to bike to the airport with a suitcase-weight backpack, then who needs the wheels? Just tote it around as a backpack. |

Maybe [Vernon] is actually a Tyrannosaurus Rex ... big muscly legs, tiny feeble arms ? |
|

That would neatly account for many, many things that are currently obscure ... |
