    Default Bikes and Planes

    So I haven't posted in a while (or flown much for that matter) but having just retired I expect that to change.
    I had always assumed that I could not fit my fancy road bike in the plane (and only used my Dahon folding bike), I was wrong! This opens up a whole new world of adventures.
    Does require removing the pax stick but I have that on a quick release.

    Glad to hear from you Dorsal. We will recall the search party.

    Congrats on your retirement. I just did the same back in April.
    More Kitfox flying in your future sounds good. Welcome back.

    That's a great idea, Dorsal. I'll have to try that arrangement too. I'm also drinking the Ridley Kool-Aid, I picked up one of their gravel bikes last year and love it.
