I would venture to say that (other than perhaps the flying itself) having a bike broken or lost in transit is one of most cyclists’ worst fears when flying with a bicycle. Unfortunately the latter is exactly what happened to me recently when the airline lost my bike and my bag.
I cover everything that happened and what I learned, to hopefully ensure it doesn’t happen again, in THIS VIDEO:

Wow. Of all your videos, this was more than impressive. I have travelled a lot with my bike….it has not shown up…so upsetting as it was before a race. Thank goodness it arrived in time. I enjoyed how you dealt with your problems.
That sounds very stressful! I’m so glad it made it in time š Thanks for watching!
Could you do a video on how you prepare your bike for travel. Or do you use a local bike shop?
Thanks
Yes! I recently made a video all about booking flights, packing a bike and what to expect at the airport! You can check it out here: https://youtu.be/feGTSSiMiEY?si=XSGBKtXZbYwzV128
