marmadaddy - 2006-05-16 12:11 PM Sending my bike was like putting my kid on a plane alone. I actually had a dream last night that it got lost en route and I woke up in a sweat.
That's why I am flying mine with me! 
I'd be more worried about the $8/hr luggage checkers than tribiketransport. Do you think their going to put it back in the case like when you or the LBS packed it???? Doubt it...
At least my bike is traveling WITH other bikes ON land AND does not require assembly. I can't tell you how many of my friends have had their bikes damaged, scratched, and beat up on the plane since 9-11. It was a no brainer for me.
$240 w/ a bag assemble or
$140 round trip + ?? assembly + Hauling it where it needs to be assemble by a pro + Hassle...
See you in FL!
