How To Travel Abroad With Your Bike

For many of us, travelling abroad with our bikes unlocks a world of amazing riding opportunities, not matter how great the roads are at home. Here are our tips to help you travel with your bike.

Having your bike in good condition when you arrive is partly down to how you pack it, which we've covered in three videos previously, but also what state it's in before you go. We'd always recommend giving it a thorough service before you go. Your time is precious when travelling, so minimise any fuss by having a sweetly running bike.

Of course there could always be a problem when you're out there, so take a basic tool kit with you, including a track pump if you have the room.

Having done a lot of traveling with bikes, and now camera kit, we'd always recommend thoroughly researching your airline's weight restriction and bike policies.

Finally, don't forget your currency and sunscreen!
