Subject: RE: Moving overseas - how to properly send bikes You're probably better off packing them yourself... most movers won't know how to take a bike apart. When we moved overseas (corporate move, so probably quite different than military ), the movers were responsible for all boxes they sealed, so I packed my bikes and let the movers seal the boxes. Best would be to pack the expensive bikes in a hard clamshell box, but they tend to cost a bit of money... very useful to have though, especially, if you plan to go back and forth a few times over the next years. If you have a chance, make sure you travel Europe while over there... some stunning riding in France (been to Provence, Alsace, Bourgogne... ), Spain (highly recommend Costa Brava region, stay in or around Girona ), Belgium is amazing (take a detour to Ronde van Vlaanderen museum! ).... |
