Hello All!
I will be finishing up my tour of Japan in Tokyo in a week or two which so far has been fantastic. I now have come to think of the rather daunting task of packaging and transporting the bike to the airport.
In England I just went to the bike shop and asked them for a cardboard box that they get the bikes in and then padded it with bubble wrap and added some cardboard braces and secured it with about a roll of ducttape and all was fine. Where can I get a cardboard box for the bike in Tokyo? Is it okay to just go to a bike shop and ask? Can anyone recommend somewhere that would have such boxes or will I have to buy something more professional? If I have to go for something more professional does anyone have any recommendations?
In terms of transport would a taxi accommodate me?
I wouldn't be averse to the option of selling the bike, a Specialized Tricross sport. If this ends up sounding like a better option what is the best way of selling the bike?
Any help gratefully received, thanks.
