Apparently highly priced bicycles can be very easily damaged in a permanent way. You are perfectly right but that is what releases are for. |

wrote: Way back in 1976 was the first time we took bikes out of the country. We flew British Air to Heathrow, and all they asked was that we removed the pedals and turned the handlebars sideways. (...) Not that it matters much to me any more. We now have folding bikes that travel inside suitcases. The airlines don't even know they are bikes. Methinks you're right. The list of bicycle types on the Bike Flights web pile does not include any manner of folding bicycle. Presumably, these can be crammed into a smaller box and handled as air freight or baggage that does not require any expensive special handling. I have a problem cramming my bicycle into my Subaru Forester. Folding handlebars and pedals are a big help: https://www.google.com/search?q=folding+bicycle+handlebars&tbm=isch http://www.learnbydestroying.com/jeffl/pics/bicycles/Sunlite%2067302%20folding%20pedals/index.html I have folding pedals on 3 of my machines, but haven't tried folding handlebars yet. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

No insurance, but you can buy a "protection plan": https://www.bikeflights.com/shippingpolicy See items 6 through 9. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
