shut up. you don't do this.
I've seen baggage handlers throwing bikes from the plane onto the tarmac. If you do this and it survives that's just insolent.

Done it 5 times, maybe more - in different variants. This one with too little foil, could have gone wrong if the black nylon under hadn't hold up.
Now I just use plenty of foil.

You kinda can.
I actually wheeled my bicycle to the baggage handler, all I did was rotated the handlebar, removed pedals and deflated tyres slightly.

There's two schools of thought on flying with a bike;
- Pack it in a box and make it bombproof so baggage handlers can't do any damage.
- Keep it as bike like as possible in the hope that the baggage handlers treat it with the reverence it deserves.
- Pack it in a box and make it bombproof so baggage handlers can't do any damage.

How I fly (packing helmet, clothes and tools inside, before the final thick wrap-up).
On a geared bike, how easy is it to re-cable when handlebar is removed from frame?
