If a TV company put a bicycle on the box, there would be plenty of shipping damage. The only reason the opposite worked is because people naturally assume a TV is far more fragile than a bicycle.

Maybe a bicycle wouldn’t work, but could there be something else that would?

By work, I think they were referring to avoiding thefts, not shipping damage.
