My wife and I used each used an Iron Case to get our bikes to Hawaii last October. They're great,
you can put an amazing amount of stuff in there with your nike. We borrowed them from friends, we
bribed the first one with some Kona coffee and the second with some macadamia nut chocolates. Are
you going somewhere interesting? Can you bribe your friends too?
My backup plan was a couple of cardboard bike boxes we scrounged from a local bike store. Ask around
at the stores, they usually just through them out.
BTW - a friend of mine was told that the airline would have cardboard boxes to take his bike to IM
Coeur d'Alene. Well, they didn't have anything suitable and he had to pull his bike apart and put it
in 3 separate boxes. If you can't beg / borrow / steal a decent box, then buy one.
