A spotlight on one of my sponsors, BikeFlights.com — my go-to service for shipping a bike to races. Instead of paying steep airline bike surcharges and risking TSA damage, you ship your bike ahead using a simple FedEx label, with packing tutorials and FAQs to help. An easy way to make traveling with a bike far less stressful.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • BikeFlights.com is my go-to whenever I travel with a bike
  • Ships bikes door-to-door via a printable FedEx label
  • Avoids airline oversized-baggage surcharges
  • Keeps your bike out of TSA’s hands and safer in transit
  • Provides packing tutorials and FAQs for first-timers

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Skip the airline bike fees: Shipping ahead can be cheaper and less stressful than oversized-baggage charges.
  • Protect your bike: Shipping avoids TSA unpacking it at the airport and leaving it exposed.
  • The process is simple: Enter the address, print a FedEx label, pack the bike, and drop it off.
  • Help is built in: BikeFlights.com offers tutorials and FAQs so you can prep with confidence.

After a busy summer of traveling to races and work events, I couldn’t help but want to spotlight one of my sponsors, BikeFlights.com. The name is pretty self explanatory right? Bikes on a plane? Like snakes on a plane, but without Samuel L. Jackson!

BikeFlights.com is my GO-TO whenever I know that I will be traveling with a bike. Wouldn’t it be easier if you shipped your bike ahead of time to avoid those crazy airline surcharges? But really, to avoid TSA completely man handling your bike, taking it out of its bike mount and leaving it exposed to damage in transit…(insert bike travel nightmare story here, haha)

So to avoid any damage to my bike, I simply ship it to my known destination. It’s just that easy! All you do is input the destination address and print out a FedEx label, pack up the bike and drop it off at a FedEx store. (And in case you don’t know how to pack up the bike, BikeFlights.com has created tutorials and FAQs to address your questions!)

When you find a great thing, you share it, right?

So cheers to BikeFlights.com for making triathlon-ing a bit easier!
