Hello boys!
Am now in Paris and have just done the most amazing 4 hour ride around the city! As a bag I used the Cinelli unpadded bike bag from Evans, its not too bad actually perhpas a bit dear at 30 quid but you can get you bike pretty compact with all the tightening clips and it offers a tidy amount of protection. The shoulder strap is pretty good, could be a bit wider though.
Getting it on and off the eurostar was painstakingly easy, lugged it around the metro system as well. I would however reccomend getting old t shirts to wrap around your drop outs and chain set, bit of masking tape to keep them in place and jobs a good un.
It seems like Paris was made for riding fixed without brakes, the roads are excellent and very wide. One of the most satisfying rides to date.
Return on the eurostar cost me 59 pounds.
No excuses.
Get involved.
