I'm heading off to Spain 15th-22nd Sept to go biking. I've had a few friends who have had their bikes destroyed before by baggage handlers when they had them in cardboard boxes/bike bag.
So, I'm a bit paranoid and would rather use a proper hard case bike box, but 150 quid is pushing it a bit for me at the moment. But would still like something to properly hold my bike like this one from the Edin Bike Coop
I was hoping that someone would kindly lend/hire one out to me. I appreciate this is a bit cheeky/asking you to trust me but it would be great if someone would.
30 seconds of Googling tells me this: Join 3PeaksTri in Scotland and they hire hardshell boxes to members for £5 or £10. Didn't read it in detail and I can't vouch for it or give any more details but looks like it's your answer.
