NYCkayaker Nautiraid bag improvisation for "retirement"

[Peter Gordon]

I've noticed that many of the cheap luggage stores in town, Chinatown, 6th
Ave etc. have incredibly large duffle-type luggage with rollers attached,
which I am sure would accommodate a folding kayak.  They are often only
about $25.  I often thought I would get one if I were travelling by plane
with a folding kayak that was very heavy for an extra option roll it along
instead of carrying it.
