I'm planning a trip to amsterdam in January and will be taking the bike (and the girlfriends bike)

Does any one have a bike box/bag (or two) I could buy or borrow.

Last time I took my bike abroad (to sweden about 12 years ago) I used a cardboard bike box but I can't seem to find these online and i'm not sure if I trust them anymore. Any advice?

i've got a bag. non padded. some airlines (BA) require you have a bike specific bag to avoid them charging excess baggage - to get my frame back i got a box, and put it in the bag - it was then free as opposed to £80 excess.... borrow it? sure.

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.
