A bicycle transport container, particularly a bicycle transport box, includes an outer container. Within the outer container, a base element, is arranged. The base element serves for accommodating an at least partially pre-mounted bicycle. The base element includes a bottom element which is supported on a bottom portion of the outer container. The outer container includes an openable side portion so that the base element together with the bicycle can be laterally pulled out from the outer container.

A method for tailoring a compression garment including a first sheet and a second sheet, each having a first lateral end and a second lateral end, at least one strap for holding together the first lateral end of the first sheet and the first lateral end of the second sheet. The strap is tightenable to establish a compression level to a human limb or body part. The method includes: adjusting the strap; draping the compression garment around the limb or the body part; holding the second lateral end of the first sheet and the second lateral end of the second sheet together to pull the first sheet, the second sheet and the strap into contact with the limb or body part; marking a cutting line on one or both sheets; cutting the sheets along the cutting line; and splicing together both cut ends with at least one splicing element.

A try-on assistant device is provided for simulating to-be-tried-on apparel. The to-be-tried-on apparel includes a measurement area, and the try-on assistant device includes a model suit, an airbag group, an inflating/deflating unit, and a control unit. The model suit includes a simulation part corresponding to the measurement area. The airbag group includes a plurality of airbags, where the airbags are disposed on the simulation part of the model suit. The inflating/deflating unit is configured to separately inflate or deflate the plurality of airbags. The control unit controls, according to an inflating/deflating parameter, the inflating/deflating unit to inflate or deflate some or all of the airbags, where the inflating/deflating parameter corresponds to size information of the measurement area of the to-be-tried-on apparel.
