RESOLVED (thanks all): Ironman Tallin Spare Bike

Hello - a member of my triathlon club is in Tallin for Ironman Estonia, but his bike didn’t make it. He’s in the 65-69 age group and has worked incredibly hard to get fit for the race. It doesn’t look like there are any hire bikes. Does anyone have a spare bike there or know someone there who might have one he could borrow?

How tall is he?

5”11. Any luck?

Most likely Jim will be of no help and suggest getting shorter cranks.

Check the expo. I did not have a bike arrive to an IM and several stands at the expo had bikes on display. Two of them said I could borrow/rent their bike for the race. There may also be some locals or fans walking around the expo who would let you borrow their bike.

Lol, has Jim ever posted any single thing that has ever helped anyone?

Thanks all - his bike arrived a few hours before the race start and Ironman allowed him to check it in on the morning.

I just asked how tall the rider is.

That seems like pretty important information to know.

And they were right, you were not helpful, as per usual.

After I asked the question, the problem had been solved.
