…or rather they will be. The bikes that is. After much research and discussion (should we take our bikes with us, buy them there, use hard cases to transport them etc) the decision has been made. Mike has today ordered two Evoc bike bags, one blue and one black. We can’t get the bags in Bristol as they’re out of stock until the 13 August (and that’s a bit too close to our departure date for comfort), so Mike has sourced and ordered them from a shop in Croydon.

We’ve watched this You Tube video showing how to pack your bike – it looks pretty easy, let’s hope it is! Our plan when we get to Vancouver is to pack the bags and post them down to San Diego the warm shower hosts we’re staying with. With luck they’ll be all ready and waiting for us to repack the bikes in before we fly home.
