Thank you very much, David!
Just backed you, first kick starter I've backed. Looking forward to seeing the book in progress.
I've rolled my bike onto planes naked (no box, no plastic, no nothing) before. It works well. You do have to take a few precautions, but I'll cover those in the book.
Piaw,
Sorry to hear of your cargo misfortunes enroute to Europe. Have you ever seen bikes packed using plastic wrap instead of cardboard? Ran across a tidbit and link for you, thanks to a cycle touring friend of mine now on a tour lead by Alison Stone. http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/page/…
