## Abstract

Example aspects of a bicycle packaging and a method for assembling a bicycle packaging are disclosed. The bicycle packaging can comprise a first packaging body comprising a primary fastener and a secondary mating fastener; and a second packaging body comprising a secondary fastener and a primary mating fastener, the first packaging body and second packaging body defining a void, the primary fastener engaging the primary mating fastener, and the secondary fastener engaging the secondary mating fastener.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A bicycle packaging comprising:
a first packaging body comprising a primary fastener and a secondary mating fastener;
a second packaging body comprising a secondary fastener and a primary mating fastener, the first packaging body and second packaging body defining a void, the primary fastener engaging the primary mating fastener, and the secondary fastener engaging the secondary mating fastener, wherein the first packaging body comprises a first top panel, a first bottom panel, a first side panel, and a first end panel assembly, and wherein the second packaging body comprises a second top panel, a second bottom panel, a second side panel, and a second end panel assembly; and
a wheel insert, the wheel insert comprising a first insert panel and a second insert panel, the first insert panel abutting one of the first side panel and second side panel, the second insert panel spaced from the one of the first side panel and second side panel to define a second void therebetween.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The bicycle packaging of claim 1, wherein the primary fastener defines a tab.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The bicycle packaging of claim 2, wherein the primary mating fastener defines a slot and the slot receives the tab.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The bicycle packaging of claim 1, where the secondary mating fastener is adjacent to the primary fastener and the primary mating fastener is adjacent to the secondary fastener.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)
