Easyjet broke my bike!

Waaaah!

I have come on a TRAINING CAMP -er, a CYCLING training camp, I was hoping to CYCLE on my BICYCLE. See shouting does make you feel better!

I really like my bike, the way it is set up, custom everything, ya know? So much that I spend time carefully padding it and removing the pedals etc etc and not just hiring a bike out here.... grrrrr!

I paid easy jet to transport my bicycle (not some obscure forbidden item in their 80 page list of exclusions.......) £20 or so, one way. Max pay out is around 1000 international secret spy units- about 700, apparently. Did I already say GRRRRR?

So gonna hire a bike tomorrow I guess.... it is at least nice and warm here.
Bah!

What did they break? Want me to enlist hippy and get some face killing started?

If they broke your 'spok, PM ASM Quickly, he has the last few available!

What damage did they do?

Ah shit! Kill them all!

Get two axes, an axe for each hand, and get some killing in.

The derraileur hanger (non replaceable on my beloved old Principia) is so badly mangled that the hole is not even round enough to get the der back again- I always remove the der for travel.

Mal asks "Seriously? What did they break?"

Ah theeeeenk we kill them all!

What did they do? Hammer the fucking back end of the bike repeatedly?

Insurance? I suppose qeasyjet has a "it's not our fucking problem" on bike damage like most other carriers..

I've got a nice Ribble you can use...

I think the old "let's throw the luggage out of the hold" trick was employed. I want a coke-a-cola polo bike ribble! Do you have such item??

This product you require is available. It is not cheap though... special price for you checks invoice £5000... ;)

What did the fuckos at weazyjet have to say about it?

something about Stelios' lunchbox got droped on the bike, the weight of that thing could break anything.....

Actually.. is it sleazyjet's fault or is it the unloading monkeys at the airport in question?

The latter. Easyjet, like all airlines, contract out their baggage handling services.

Always use a hard shell bike box if you're going to fly with a bike you cherish.

Bad luck btw Sherrit. :-(

Easyjet employs said monkeys so I would LNG differentiate between the two...

bad luck.
chin up - at least you're on holiday!

Bad luck- and a reinforcement to driving down to Italy with the bikes in the back.

Did you use a hardcase bag or a box?

Sherrit, horrid news. Hope the hire bike is OK and that you enjoy the training camp. What type of bag did you use? Were any other bikes damaged?

should have gone ryanair
