Chicky Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hey allI just got myself a ta26 on ebay and it turns out the guy selling it lives just 15 miles away from me. Now i can get a bus there to pickup the bike, but can i get one back? It's a 26 so it'll be quite big.What does everyone think, i've been told if i take the wheels off it'll be fine....

fruitbat Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 should be ok but your best off phoning the phone company and making sure, it will be classed as luggage if you have it covered in a bike bag or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Depends on where you live too i guess, i know i'd have no chance getting anywhere near a bus here with a bike without being raped. And the f**kers make you pay £1.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Bleech Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 i think you can take them on stagecoach type bus - with luggage compartments at the bottom but normal buses no you ain't allowed on with them......but take some bin bags or an old bike box or borrow a bike bag and you will have no probs. You are best going at off peak times though. I was on a bus with a flat pack wardrobe the other day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
