UK/Scottland tour on own bikes - logistics
Guys, please help me plan a bike tour in the UK and/or Scottland. Any suggestions are welcome!
Inputs:
- We are a family of 3 and would like to bring our own road bikes from the US (rather than renting there).
- We want to fly in with our bikes in the luggage, get on our bikes and bike away
- For our flight back, we need to put our bikes back in the luggage and fly back with them.
- We want to move from town to town and NOT just stay in one place and bike around it.
- We want to travel with our own bike bags - 2 per bike, hanging from the rack behind.
Questions:
-Best way to pack the bike for an oversees flight
-Depending on how we packed it - what to do with the bike bag/carton once we've arrived? I mean - we can't shlept it along on our bikes. And we need to pack the bikes again on the way back.
-Does the rack actually fit into bike bags?
-How to check-in / carry on the 2 bike bags per person?
Thank you so much for your advice!
Dimitri
