it's my bike in a box!


it took some doing, but the bike is packed. I had to take off both wheels, the skewers that hold them on, the handlebars, pedals, seat post and the rack. in other words, a lot more than I've ever had to take off a bike to pack it. the only issue now...is it under the 70lb. weight limit or will I face the wrath of the irish at aer lingus. hopefully, i get to find out. the hurricane force winds here in chicago are killing o'hare. i'm looking forward to finding out if they serve guiness on the plane.

PS - sing the title, it's fun.

What a great idea! I hope you will manage to keep it up. I've been on the road for two weeks already and haven't written a single word yet. Have a wonderful and adventurous trip and keep in touch! All the best to you and your friends.

Step one: open the box

Step two: put your bike in the box

Step three: internationally ship your bike

Yeah...doesn't quite have the same ring to it, huh?
