Wasn't sure where to put this, so "generic" seems as good a place as any. Just 11 days till me & MsPub fly off to Vancouver, before embarking on a Pacific Coast Highway tour to San Francisco. (Bus through Seattle and Portland before starting cycling from N. Oregon coast, ~750 miles over two weeks.) Think I've finally sorted the packing arrangements; Air Transat (anyone used?) charge just $30CAN for bike. We'll ride to Victoria Station at silly o'clock Saturday morning to get to Gatwick, so need a baggage solution that we can carry there.
I'm pleased to find out that the IKEA Trolley Bag is just the right size to fit two (over)filled panniers + tent + various other bits. The zip/fabric interface isn't the hardiest thing I've ever seen so I'll reinforce with some packing tape, but it looks like it'll take a couple of journeys before falling apart. The bikes will go in CTC bags at the airport. Fingers crossed.
