I ARRIVED IN MALLORCA - BUT MY BIKE DIDN'T MAKE IT

In this episode, I take you on the start of my trip to Mallorca, the start of my 3-week long cycling holiday in Spain. There were some early hiccups - notably that my bike bag did not arrive in Mallorca together with me and I couldn't find it. What a start to the trip!
A very special thanks to Swiss Air's baggage handling department for making this video possible.

Indeed hectic. Glad things went well eventually.

I’m heading out to Majorca on Tuesday. Glad to see the weather is looking great 👍

[@thewinsty]

Was sunny almost everyday for the second half of Sept!

I stayed there earlier this year! Great riding… Don’t miss the Assos outlet near Alcudia. Good prices almost 40-50% off.

Ah I'm already back in Singapore :( missed it

Expensive exercise having to buy a new bag! Luckily, no one stole your bike, too, I guess😉

[@thewinsty]

Part and parcel of such trips I guess, but also, travel insurance :)

[@cognacbrown]

Maybe the key lesson here is to plaster your name all over the bag? 😂

[@thewinsty]

Yes I overlooked that, hahaha

[@darrenhowe9636]

I wouldn’t put my bike or especially a bike like yours in what is basically a sports bag…Definitely put it in a hard shell bike box which you can rent.Baggage handlers are known for not caring about people’s things…hate for your bike to get cracked.

why don't just find some tailoring service to sew it back up? such minor damage

[@thewinsty]

I did think of it, but lead time and unfamiliarity with the existence of such shops make this less viable. Anyway, back in Singapore, I got quoted S$200-300 for the repair, apparently reinforcement of zips for heavy duty purpose is expensive due to the labour charges.
