With a bit of luck I am taking a short holiday and need to take a mountain bike with me. I show you how I pack my mtb bike for travel on a plane.

Get a proper bike bag, hard to keep it under the weight limit depending on the ride, but oh so easy, 5 mins and you are riding! Pool noodles are a cheap light hack to add in to protect forks etc as well.

I have looked at bike bags many times. They seem to weight about 8.5 kg. That will make me overweight.

And, believe it or not, it survived the trip to Queenstown and back despite having all the other luggage (including my bike) in the shuttle bus piled on top of it.

That is why I pack it well. Box on its side with suit cases stacked on top of it. No damage done.

I was wondering after you arrived. In your trip. Where do you store your bike box. So you can reused it again on the way fly back.
@bestdayevermtb210 ай бұрын
In Whistler and Queenstown I just kept the box in my accommodation. I must admit in Europe I had to keep the box in a van we hired.
@Rocketsnail1012 жыл бұрын
Is the bike just registered as a drop in bag? or do you have to pay extra?
@bestdayevermtb22 жыл бұрын
I just bought a flight that gives you two bags. Also good in covid times as can get refund if I don't fly. Saying that in QUEENSTOWN now riding bike no issues.

I actually used the same box for a large full sus e bike last week. Some boxes are designed for the rear wheel to be left in and are obviously a lot longer. This works well for me.
