I'm off to Paris on Friday on a national express coach. Anyone had any experience with taking bikes on them? I plan to take bars wheels saddle and cranks off so as it's not "irregular baggage". They allow two 20kg suitcases and my bike doesn't weigh anyway near that. Also I do not have a bike bag/box. Any help is appreciated. cheeers.

No need to apologise, I'm perfectly calm.

Just don't do it again - there are people here with flaming pitchforks who I can only hold back for so long.. ;-)

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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
