I'm travelling abroad for Christmas and taking my MTB to go exploring. Do you have a bike bag I could buy or borrow?

Hi salochinthims, I would strongly recommend that you use a bike 'box' for your travels. A baggage handler recently informed me that an item of hold luggage can be at the bottom of a six ton pile. Bike bags or boxes are treated as just another item of luggage.

Thanks @Chainreaction good advice. I was planning to use additional padding using cardboard and foam pipe lagging.

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

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

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