Here's what I've done in the past:

-If the airport has left luggage and it's convenient for me to use it, I'll use it
-If a train station connecting to the airport has a locker, I'll use it
-For places where I hire a private tour complete with driver (used for a 10 hour layover in CAI, 8h tour in IST) I'll just leave it in the car with crossed fingers

For an upcoming stopover in PAR (including ORY -> CDG transfer) I plan on using Blue Marble European Bike Trips storage services or maybe do an airport transfer with Eelway.

One time on the way home domestically after clearing CBSA and YVR I just checked it through to YEG and AC didn't mind. Didn't need it for a day trip in YVR anyway.

Lots of ways to do it...I've started to use Q&A forums where I get a quick response in my trip planning (TripAdvisor, Google Maps Local Guides) to see if the airport has left luggage, requires exact change, forex implications, etc.
