Excess Baggage…
Well it is increasingly becoming bike related, but in this instance it was kite kit the bastards charged me for, but it could have been a bike I was on the way to whistler..
Anyway I weigh 67 kgs, got hit for £60, my ordinary luggage was 23kgs and my kite kit was less than twenty, so fair enough, well not fair but anyway..
I then get sat next to this humungous great yank biatch who spilled into my seat had a frikking mountain of carry on and a huge case and travelled for no extra charge.
Then I read about the French airlines giving fat folk extra seats.
Now that's all very well and not wanting this to be a rant about the obese (although that could a whole other thread in itself).
It strikes me as averagely fit travelling sportfolk we are being discriminated against when we travel with our kit, be it boards, kites or bikes. (I'm a windsurfer and kiter as well as bike rider).
I'm not a total newbie to this forum, have lurked for a fair bit and lost my login when it switched.
So pardon the rant straight off like this and check out the petition we could do with a bit of back up on this one…
The petition
It probably wont do much, but it will make the point.
If you agree of course, if not flame away..
