Example aspects of a method for using a bicycle packaging are disclosed. The method for using a bicycle packaging can comprise attaching a first packaging body to a second packaging body to define a void comprising an open end; inserting a bicycle into the void; abutting a first top panel of the first packaging body against a second top panel of the second packaging body to cover the open end; and engaging a primary fastener of the first top panel with a primary mating fastener of the second top panel.
