    Hi,

    Does anyone know if you can hire a bike box for an overseas trip?

    I’m thinking of going to Nice for a break and want to take my bike.

    Thanks in advance

    Paul

    Can you seriously imagine breaking down your bike and packing it at the airport though?

    Think you’d be surprised how small a car you can get the aforementioned Bike Box Alan into. Most small hatchbacks will accommodate it flat if the seats are down, leaving plenty of room to pile holiday luggage on top.

    Your airport pickup/dropoff idea is an interesting one, but would be a nightmare in practice. The poor pickup guy would spend half his life waiting for delayed flights!
