Under the section "special items" is "sports equipment." Is it logical to conclude thus sports equipment are special items? And under sports equipment are golf clubs? And bicycles?
Now, because you are talking about "special item fees", what do you conclude that "bicycles" doesn't have a fee listed, unlike kayaks, but "bicycle transport fees" does have a dollar amount listed?
Maybe that is why TheMadBrewer writes that they say "bicycle parts" when asked what is inside.
I understood flyerCo’s post as saying that if an item is special (being defined into a specific category on delta.com) and has an associated fee, then that fee applies to everyone regardless of dimensions. Examples of these are antlers, surfboards, and bicycles. If you have any of these, then it doesn’t matter if they weigh 20 lbs, or if you have Medallion status, Delta can still charge you according to delta.com. Excess weight/size fees are separate from the special item fee.
