Packing your bicycle

You can view the video using YouTube above, or you can copy one to your hard drive. It’s a video on packing regular bicycles into a box for shipping or taking with you on an airline (right click the link to the video and save the target file (it’s an mp4) to your hard drive before you try to play it – it takes about 15 minutes to download even with a fast connection before you can play it).

For a written instruction on packing a bicycle, Jim Foreman has a pretty good website: http://www.jimforeman.com/Stories/boxbike/boxbike.htm
