It’s a bit tricky to jam a bike into a rectangular cardboard box, but it turns out that it is possible (just). You need zip ties and lots of time and patience. Not something to be done if you’re in a hurry. In short, you remove the pedals and front wheel, and zip tie it to the frame interleaved with the pedal crank. Take the handle bars off, rotate the front forks, jam the handle bars in on their side. Seat off. Try to fit in box. It won’t. Take off other bits until it does. Margaret’s didn’t so she had to go to the bike store to get an extra big box.
They’re both tucked in their boxes now, and ready for Air Canada to do its worst.
Have a wonderful time you two! Will be thinking of you. Wish Atticus could have come with you…it looks very clearly to me, it is what he wanted. Don’t worry. We all have trouble communicating with our cats. Travel and cycle safely. See you in August!
So pleased to see your blog up and running again! Have a wonderful and safe trip. Looking forward to hearing of your many adventures here! Love, Laurie
