[Closed] Bike Case for hire?

[#1282443]

I'm off to the Trans Rockies this August 😀 and flying the bike with Air Canada. Whilst I have a bike bag already from previous trips AirCanada stipulate that the bike must be in a hard shell case otherwise they make you sign a waiver for luggage damage. I don't want to buy a case for one trip so wondered if anybody knew of a hire service for bike cases? Overall dimensions (length+width+height) has to be 292cm or less

Any ideas?

I rented one from Brixton cycles a few years back for a weeks trip to spain. Fitted in my 21.5" hardtail no problem.

Cost about £40 if i recall.

bikeboxalan that onzadog refers to do it from Windsor as well iirc. (Thought it was Barnsley rather than Rotherham but near enough)
