The france visit is an ironman event so dont want to rent for that event!
I know you can rent the bikeboxalans' for a week or two at a time from various places but it will no doubt be a false economy.

Scicon Aero Comfort 2.0 TSA looks to be the favourite for now.

I've flown to France and Australia with my bike in a soft case, it survived both. Just pack it well.

Is it just me or has the veloviewer site been performing like utter cack for the past few days (even compared to it's normal slow performance)?
Worked as normal for me yestarday.
Combo of a soft bag and one of the cardboard boxes that bikes are delivered in and a lot of pillows/bubble wrap got mine to cyprus with easy jet with no damage.

Where do people put them when not in use? My dilemma is that I want to cycle from Geneva to Nice and then fly back again but not sure what to do about the bike box both when I get there/picking up another for the journey back.

Grudas what's the front light you have as that looks pretty good from those snaps

Oh and my shiny new bike is here!
Only had time for a 5 minute spin round the block, apparently that's enough time for someone to beep their horn at me because he wanted to come on the opposite side of the road while I was there.... Looking forward to hopefully cycling to work Thursday then getting it out for a good spin at the weekend

those were not mine, russinating is the one that posted pictures of his front
but I have a single cree torch with t6 led and 2 spare 18650's in my backpack - one light does 3-4 days worth of commuting so around 6-7 hours

Eyesight failure on my part, but thanks for the idea on a torch to look at

Was totally blinded this evening by someone wearing a front helmet light - he was following me and I couldn't see anything when I looked back. People really shouldn't have lights like that for anything other than off road use!

My rear wheel has had all sorts of annoying problems. The latest one was a weird clicking sound that occurred nearly every full revolution. I originally thought it might be a few things but a quick check on the road side showed that none of them were the issue.
Tonight I finally took time to look at it properly and found this:
The crack on the other side isn't quite so bad but still...
Luckily I have swapped the wheels with my old Cotic ones - which though older have done about 1/4 as many miles. This will be used for my turbo trainer until I get round to buying something new...

I wouldnt even use that on a turbo tbh
Man of Honour
I actually kind of agree but if I don't get round to buying a cheap replacement wheel extremely quickly I will probably end up chancing it for a ride or two.
I can't believe I rode on it as it is for almost a week. I really need to be less lazy about investigating some issues.
Soldato
Yes! I get that a lot! Turn around and you can't see crap! Those 2000+ lumen lights are getting too cheap and widely available so people buy them and use in well lit roads like London streets!

If you're flying back from Nice, I'd fly to Geneva with it packed in a cardboard bike box then throw it out and find a new box when you get to Nice and repack it.
Alternatively, there is the CTC option: http://www.ctc.org.uk/cyclists-library/bikes-public-transport/bikes-air I'd probably trust that with a non carbon bike.

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
