yeah, I know what you mean about travel. I took my bike to the shop where I bought it... they boxed it for $30 and then Fed Ex'd it. Cost $80 to get it to Seattle... and then $114 to get it home (they charged more there for the service)

If I continue traveling to ride, I'll buy a case to pack it and take it on flight... but that is really no cheaper... the charge for the oversized luggage, I've heard is up there...
