    Hi,

    anyone know any reasonably priced options for transporting a bike (in a box) to Europe? Know someone who has booked flights to Zurich but there is no room on flight for anymore bikes.

    Thanks.

    You must be heading the IM, your best bet would be to find other people who have the same problem cos it will be cheaper to ship a few bikes, heard of a few clubs doing that when i was in austria last year

    Yeah heading to IM. Problem is most of us have bikes booked on but few still aren't sorted.

    Hi,
    There are a company in the airport who transport overweight oversized luggage can't think of there name now but they ship it cheaper than the airline usually arrives a day later unless u drop it off a day early.

    Fly ryanair to Friedricshafen it's only around the corner. Alternatively Bern isn't far but I think if you go further away the price of the Swiss trains may get too pricey. See if An Post can do it. When I moved to Zurich I posted a lot of stuff over but I moved from England.
