Transporting a bike on a bike

Hi, I need to transport this bike across London:

No rear tyre or chain.

I can do most of the journey by train but some of the distance will be on the bike.

Where's that photo of hillbilly transporting an entire Fuji Track Pro with wheels in a Grobag?

I saw a guy in Berlin riding along with a full bike over his shoulder, it was stupidly cold too with ice and snow all over the shop. I didn't envy him.

I have ridden along carrying a moulton in one hand. It did get heavy after a mile or so.
I have ridden along wheeling a bike next to me for a mile
I have ridden with a frame over my shoulder

and I saw someone, not Selimski though, riding a long cargo bike which had a brompton as the cargo.

I'd use Sellotape.

Buy it from Tesco they have a sale on right now.

Your best bet is to just get an old shitty tyre, possibly a cast off from a bike shop.
You ever cycled while holding another bike at the stem? Easy as once you remember when your slowing down the other bike will carry momentum

thats a lovely grand prix. (not sure about the chocolate though)
i;ve got a lenton grandprix myself! :) loving the funny forck crown bits.

anyhow. ive carried a bike strapped to my 'gapyear' rucksack on my back. just take the wheels off and zip-tie them ontop of the frame. good to go.

There you go

I'd go for getting a crap tyre (don't need a tube or to inflate it though) and pushing the bike from the stem whilst riding bike alongside. I had to do this for a few miles once - got home before Mrs BGA (whose bike it was). She got the tube.

Of course a full size bike will fit in the back of a black cab. you could just get a cab

Or go by public transport take the bits to make it rideable and ride it back

i had an idea but it might not work.

whatever system you use of carrying or pushing please be aware of gaps that you may not be able to fit through with your new width.

or ride it on the rims ,,, its the newest thing to do apparently

sorry if i missed something.

^ Are you sure you haven't missed something?

I cycled 5 miles carrying a (heavy) bike minus wheels.
Take some padding for your shoulder, hold the forks in place. Job's a good un.

I have to get a wheel home tonight. Have tiny messenger bag. Any tips?

Strap it on the outside with cable ties/string/dried intestines/old inner tubes

Loop the straps at the back (not the shoulder one) through the spokes.

And dangle behind me. Brilliant, thanks.

I carry a bicycle home (light one mind) with the inside triangle resting on my shoulder while on the sit-up-and-beg bike.

lots of padding.

head through frame, accross shoulders.... watch out for traffic though or you'll lose your neck.

Best advice it take the parts you need with you and ride it back. I've ridden a bike wheeling a newly acquired one alongside (with 2 flats) and it wasn't that easy. I've also ridden 5 miles with a 531 F+F over my shoulder, the GP will be quite heavy and you'll need lots of padding (and rest stops) if you carry it. Nice bike, but not worth breaking your neck over.

Take one tire, one rider and one rope. Skitch home.

Or take one tire, fit it and wheel bike beside you. I've done it before, quite easy.

Do it the old way - put the wheels on the bar/fork like this;

and carry the frame.

it's how they do it in the old day, when they only have one bicycle and don't have a motorised vehicle, the best way to get to and from the race is to carry the two tubular races wheel, while heading down on their everyday clincher wheel with thicker tyres.

Damn clever, that. Listen to Ed.

Rode across town yesterday with a bike bunjeed to my backpack and strapped in through the belt straps and compression straps running the wrong way round the bag so they'd go though the frame from lots of different angles. Worked fine. Good way to get traffic to give you space. Just make sure you remember it's there and go wide of everything.

Frame over the shoulder can get very painful very quickly if you don't use loads of padding. More than you think you need.
