Has anybody flown their bike to their destination? I'm off to La Jolla California June 10th and want to ride the beach while I'm there. My first option was to rent while I was there but I don't want to look like a tourist, I just want to be one :wink: So my wife say's, " why don't you bring one of your folding bikes?". So I looked at her :shock: and calmly said, " Yeah I could.....do that!". :mrgreen:
Jet Blue will fly a bike as one of your checked luggage for free if it meets the 62" requirement. My folder won't get that small. If I crate that bike they will charge me $50 each way, as long as it does'nt go over 99lbs. Now I'm geting close to what rental fees will be and I'll have my bike. Wait.........why take my folder when I can take a Rat Rod......... whoa what a concept.
So, the crate size doesn't matter here as long as the weight is good. I have a few weeks to get a crate made from my stash of wood things and I'll get some pictures up with some details. I hope this is worth my while and maybe get some shots of bikini girls on the board walk .
