 Looking to go abroad cycling, and am looking to hire a bike box to take my bike on the plane. Anyone know of any companies that hire out boxes? Or even better, is there anyone in the Berks/Bucks/Surrey/Hampshire area that would be willing to let me borrow one, for a token payment, or for several crates of beer??!!

I got mine in under a week. Alan did say that he had had a lot of orders and was low on stock, but that was about 6-7 weeks ago.
Give him a call - he was really helpful when I spoke to him.
|
|
huh? Who's Alan?! Does he have bike boxes??!!
|
|
does anyone have any suggestions as to where i could borrow or hire TWO bike boxes now??!! My missus is now coming with me! Any help greatly appreciated.

 As a last reort you could always ask your LBS for a cardboard bike box. I have transported my bikes many times in one without problems and they are free.
|

i am toying with that idea, though i am a little nervous about packaging my pride and joy in card! It's the fact that i am not sure how to secure the bike inside the cardboard box, whereas you can secure the bike into one position in a purpose built box.

 When are you going mate? Will be bringing mine over from ireland in 4 weeks and can lend it to you no probs
|
|
i'm not going until march
|
|
no worries then! I'm in cornwall but sure I'll be up that way before march. Won't need it back until August either. Now you'll just need to source another! Where exactly are you?
|
|
i'm in berkshire, near camberley. About two miles off the M3.
|
|
No worries, will drop you message next time i'm coming up that way and drop off the bag!
|
|
let me know when you're heading this way and hopefully i will be about! many thanks.

 I've got a bike bag you can borrow if you are still looking for the second bag. It has an internal frame you clamp the frame to and some cardboard over the wheels sorts that. It's been to NZ before so knows the way. Just over the downs in Wantage.

Thanks for sharing your views on the topic. It makes one think and look the other side of the story. chicago injury attorney
