Transport of Bikes to Events (Air Freight vs other)

[A_du_Plessis]

Good day.

 

I am trying to gauge the feasibility of building a Bike trailer for a couple of bikes to transport to events such as Triathlons, Ironman, Double Century, etc.

 

1) The question I have is what means of transporting of your bike is preferable? 

2) What reason will make decide to rather send a Bike with someone else rather than hauling it yourself?

3) What type of service would you like from a transport company? 

 

Obviously Insurance will be on bikes when it gets transported...

 

Needless info and reason for my question...

 

Both my wife and I do Triathlons, as such we always have a heap of gear, thus the real issue is whether it is better to build a big enough trailer for several bikes or just for two bikes?

well. it depends. if it's just the two of you or you really want to try and get 5/6 people together then your options are totally different.

 

You might find the simplest and quickest solution is just to put two thule type racks on a venter type trailer.
