traveling with the bicycle is a total hassleif you drive... the hotel or the inlaws will not let you bring the bike into the building
if you fly... the cost of traveling with a bike is as great as the hassle of boxing the bike itself
and then some
so... what does someone do?
well... OUTERBIKE is a great solution
