Today I decided I really did need the Bike Friday TravelBag which will allow me to sling the bike over my shoulder and carry it in to places that might otherwise object.
It adds a few bucks to the price, $79 I believe, but hey, if you are going to be spending that much money on a bike that folds, you ought to get the darn bag as well. I may never actually need it, but then again, I may. I’m probably also going to want the trailer adapter for the TravelCase, but that can wait till I get back.
Part of the reason for the travel stuff is that I may want to go camping on Maui and taking a bike along is definitely part of the plan. However the SuperFerry, the method I’d use, charges $25 for bike one-way, that would be $50 for a round trip. However, according to their website:
Make sure your baggage meets the requirements. Passengers are allowed two checked bags weighing no more than 50 pounds each, and no more than two personal carry-on bags or packs. Oversized or excess luggage will be subject to additional fees.
It sounds to me like travel equipment is in order! Especially since I can ride my bike from the dock (or the airport) to Kanaha Beach Park in very little time and camp in this location…
It may not be the best spot on the island, but it’s convenient…
