Re: Help needed
I'm sure you're well prepared,Mitzy, but for those that aren't.

The bike btw is booked with BMI Baby at €22. The only new problem I have now is that my limit with thm is 18 kilos. The bike weighs 16 kilos. I'm trying to find a bike bag, and they all seem to weigh 3 kilos or more. I found one on ebay that is 2.3 kilos, so I will have to remove bike bits and put them in my luggage to bring it down. I dont suppose anyone knows of a transport bag seller in Spain that has light weight ones
Nothings easy!

Re: Help needed
Have you tried the bike shops in Oliva. If they don't sell them I am sure they would know where you can get one.

Re: Help needed
There's probably a very good reason why not, but why not just use loads of bubblewrap? That's how we packed our bikes for flying - admittedly yonks ago - and nothing came to grief.... and it weighs virtually nothing!

Re: Help needed
Does the "mainly bike sales" place have any that their new bikes arrived in? I've read of people using boxes that dealers bikes came in, don't know if it's worth a call.

Re: Help needed
I want to get it serviced properly, as I've done a lot of miles and the gears are a little noisy already
That is a thought for sure, thanks. In the meantime though I took the plunge and ordered a bag off ebay. The reason being, after thought, I have to lug this thing around with me at Alicante and Birmingham airport, and it will fit in the back of thecars. Only thing which is a pain, is that I have to removes the wheels as well as pedals and straighten the bars.

dd1 says you go into Gata from Jávea - cross the railway - come to a junction where one turning goes up a hill - it's up the hill & 1st on the right
that probably doesn't help much does it.............
