Hi everyone. Just on the scrounge for the loan/ rental of a bike box for beginning of Sept. Got a bag but they afford little protection when being hurled around by baggage handlers so I'd prefer to use a box . Thanking you muchly

Elsie, each to his/her own I know but i swear by bags.Ive used both and had more damage done to my box than bag.Maybe because they are more rigid.??? I always use a bag but put a cardboard bike box inside as a liner and put pipe tubing around all the tubes and use seperate wheel bags.Yes maybe slightly heavier than normal bag but still well within weight limits and bike is well protected..just some thoughts if you cant get a box jez
