Shipping your bike - info

[kelownagirl]

Saw this website - might be useful for someone. Maybe somebody who has actually shipped a bike before can tell me if this looks ok or not.

Looks & sounds bomber-proof to me. One thing you might want to add (I just read the description quickly) is some foam pipe insulation-type stuff (not the technical term) around the down tube, cross tube and chain stays (basically anything metal) to protect them as well.

We went the buy an indestructible box for $500 route. It's been used twice so far and the peace of mind, knowing that my bike is not going to get damaged in transport is worth it. We plan on traveling a lot with our bikes and consider it an investment.

However, there are a lot of people who go the route in the link and are happy with it.

I just shipped my bike from Maui, Hawaii and did the pipe insulation stuff and that seemed to take a lot off my mind about my bike getting scuffed up.The website looks good to me....
