Another issue with Easyjet is their apparently contradictory Ts&Cs
If you read the bit about bikes it reads …
Bicycles (1), golf equipment, and skis, surfboards, wind surfers, hang gliders, and firearms (2)
An additional non-refundable fee is charged per item per flight for the carriage of the above items as set out in our carrier’s regulations.
Payment of the additional fee increases your checked-in hold baggage allowance (including additional item) to a maximum weight of 32kg.
Where your total checked-in hold baggage weighs more than 32kgs, normal excess baggage charges as set out in our carrier’s regulations shall apply in addition to the above fee.
Then if you go look at the ‘carrier’s regulations’ it seems to indicate that the bike’s weight shouldn’t incur excess fees
(1) Carriage of bicycles:
Passengers travelling with bicycles are recommended to check-in 2 hours prior to departure. Bicycles are subject to the sports equipment fee and exempt from any excess baggage charges relating to the weight of the bicycle.
