[SDCBC] Advice on shipping a bike?

[Linda Briggs]

Hi SDCBCers -

 

My brother-in-law is visiting in November from New York and flying in with
his bike. He's nervous about the carbon fiber fork (the rest of the bike is
steel). He plans to have a local NY bike shop pack the bike for him in a
hard-sided case, and I'm trying to convince him the fork should be just fine
in that. 

 

Any advice from those who have flown bikes? Would he be better off packing
the fork in his carry-on luggage (assuming he could get it through
security)?

 

Thanks!
