I'm zipping off to Mallorca from the 20th to the 27th of September and need a method of transporting my pride and joy. Does anyone have a box gathering dust they'd like to lend or sell me? Really looking for a hard case as I don't trust the chuckers.

I'm based in E8 but can come and collect anywhere really. Payment in cash / beer / wine / chewits.

Ta! D

Swift Cycles in Spitalfields hires the sturdy box ones for £45 for a week. I just got one for the same time. Not cheap but better than spending >£400 for one then having to store it when not in use.

That's a pretty good deal really, and local.

Zebra Cyclist has very kindly sorted me out though.

Do these guys no longer exist? I was just having a look for a travel case.

Try the place in St Johns Hill - London Cycle Workshop or something?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
