Have you tried to find an authoritative source of information on Taking Your Bike Overseas?

There isn’t one. Until now.

Every person has a a different take on Taking Your Bike Overseas and the problem is that most articles are written according to the writer’s biases.

Taking Your Bike Overseas can be a pain

Trust me when I tell you that having your own bike when you’re overseas is really awesome.

You can head out for a ride whenever you please, and don’t have to worry about hire shops.

(I must admit, riding down from Mont Ventoux on a warm night at 8PM is tres delightful!)

However, it’s not all beer and skittles.

Lugging a bike around on your holiday – unless you’re prepared for it – can be a total pain.

Dragging a bike around the airport, getting taxis, hiring bigger cars, storing your bike bag, trains – you need to consider everything through the prism of what the focus of your trip is.

I’ve been through the travails of taking a bike overseas for a cycling holiday (several times).

I know the ins and outs, and I want you to know, too.
