Flying with Bikes

It's obvious that Portland is an awesome town to bike in (although my typing fingers hesitate as I look outside at the pouring down rain...)  We are of course still in the throes of winter, which reminds me that Portland is also a great place to fly in and out of with a bike, to faraway tropical places and such.  The PDX airport is has a bike assembly and repair station and it's surrounded by bike paths and public transportation options.  Look at the Portland International Airport bicycle resources page for more information.

Oh, the romance of the open road...

Every airline has its own guidelines for extra baggage, including boxed-up bicycles.  This article is a good starting point: Fly With Your Bike, but always check with your airline for the most up-to-date guidelines.

It just so happens that we are are one of the closest bike shops to PDX, as is evident on this map.  We can disassemble and box up your bike for $40-$60, plus $10 for the box, and we can assemble and tune any boxed-up bike for $60-$100, depending on application.

Happy travels!
