Shipping My Bike

[wavedancer]

When we recently traveled with our bikes we made sure everything was tied together with bits of foam padding or cardboard to prevent parts from rubbing each other or coming in contact with the outer shell of the case. My BF used short buckled straps which were easier to deal with than the plastic twine we used to secure mine. Everything came through fine, and keeping everything secured together discouraged TSA from removing too much when inspecting. We watched him check the cases and he basically swabbed random surfaces, checking for explosive residue, I guess.
