I'm moving to NY for a few months and am toying with the idea of taking my bike. Does anyone have a bike box or padded bag of some kind they're wanting to sell?

Cheap as possible and preferably somewhere east.

Hey

I have just moved house and have 2 different bags which need to go. i don't have pictures right now but can sort some out. One is a padded Look Bike Bag and the other i got from an Intersport in France to get a touring bike back on a plane it is slightly less padded but has a stiff bottom with a spacer to put your front drop outs into. Probably be about £40 each.

I live in Hackney which is eastish.

let me know if you are interested

cheers

or get a box from your LBS for free and use bubble wrap/pipe insulation/padding stuff. shouldnt cost much more than a fiver. bags are easier, boxes are free.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
