WOW. Just seeing Myrtle getting walked to the plane conveyor seems scary to me.. but guess in reality these things are incredible sturdy.
ReplyDeleteIm thinking maybe make some pre-attached "carry handle" straps. suggesting places for the crew to pick-up safely. Im really wanting to travel with my Gekko, but worried about having to break it down for a flat case.. now you got me thinking I can get away with collapsing the boom and ship it.
did it cost extra to bring the bike?? would be better to get type of duffle bag to put it in or better leaving it reg...

DeleteFollowing your lead, I tried to fly with Alaska Airlines out of Juneau with my ICE trike, and they said no way unless I packaged it up. I had to build a 25 pound "cage" of pvc and shrink wrap mounted on a skateboard to put it on the plane. It took me weeks to build the cage, and hours to put it together once I built it. I don't know how you managed to just roll up with your trike and get them to take it.
DeleteWow - that's too bad - I wonder why? I've never had anyone at Alaska even question me about the trike. I roll up, they check it, sometimes they charge a checked bag fee and we are done. There's been a couple of international flights that wanted me to put the trike in a box. I show a baggage handler how much easier the trike rolls without a box and they are happy. I know someone else that flew out of Alaska and they didn't have any problems. Maybe you got an angry check-in person?
