So, I have a challenge for you seasoned cycle tourers. I plan to do a tour through Eastern Europe in May. Going to fly into one city, cycle a few hundred miles and then fly back from a different city.
I know taking bikes on planes can be a pain and think I will probably tour with my steel swift (May do some off road touring too to spice things up) rather than carbon road bike to avoid any really nasty surprises the airline staff may have in stall for me.
So how do you get your bike bag from A to B? I did consider getting a CTC big plastic bag and then carrying it with me. Could always double as an emergency bivvy 😉 but not sure all airlines will take it. Wizz Air state it must be ‘nylon’ bag.
Think that finding a bike box in Bulgaria prior to getting flight back might’ve more faff than I can be bothered with…any ideas?
