Anyone have any tips, tricks, recommendations for ways to send a road bike to Australia from the US?
I would certainly love some advice!
(i will not be flying there)
Fedex.
yep been talking to bikeflights. They seem “reasonable” at $360. Fedex is a nonstarter at over $800.
bikeflights. The cheapest is to have someone fly with it over as long as you trust them and don’t mind the hassle.
Your bike won’t work in Australia, it has to do with Coriolis forces, same reason the whirlpool turns the other way in the bathtub. You have the get a southern hemisphere version.
we really need a “like” button on here

It’s going to get lost if you spell it like that

Kevin not to mean the brakes have to be reversed too for being on the right/ wrong side of the road

Indeed this is by far reasonable, as I have shipped two bikes in three yrs and was around $400 plus taxes, and custom clearance fees.
