We are now offering bike box rental services and have have a number of "bikeboxalan" cases available to rent or purchase.
Having used and tested (to destruction!) many bike boxes and bags from £100 to £500 with varying degrees of success these are by far the best cases we have come across even including SciCon cases (a remarkable resemblence you may note!). At 11kgs for a pretty indestructible box they are perfect for long haul flights with your prized racing steed!
We currently have six cases to rent in Henley-on-Thames as well as a couple in Oxford and Derby (default location is Henley-on-Thames)..

Click here for our instruction sheet (pdf file you can print out) including photo of a packed bike (Rob's Time road bike with integrated seatpost and saddle attached,saddle height 78cm), cranks on bike. As you can see there's lots of room!
If you would like to rent a case please email us for availability (please ask well in advance of any holidays you are planning as typically if you are doing an event hundreds of others from the UK will be too!)

NB Collection / Delivery: Please note - a LOCAL collection and delivery is available at extra cost - within 5 miles of Henley-on-Thames typically £10 each way. Prices below are based on pickup/dropoff by the customer.
Various customers have asked about courier services however at around £30 each way (best price we have found) this is rarely worthwhile although possible.
NEW - Bike packing service: Packing the BikeBoxAlan cases is pretty simple but due to initial feedback from our regular customer base we are also offering a bike packing service. This is typically a 1 hour session where we can show you how best to fit bike into the box and importantly how to adjust headset and check other essentials properly when you get to your destination. This is very popular so there is limited availability. Cost is £40 per session and can be done at our workshop when you pick the box up (just bring your bike and take it back in the box!) or at your home when renting a box if we have dropped off for you (local only).
If possible we prefer to do this session at a more leisurely time (perhaps included in a basic bike maintenance course) rather than when you are about to jet off and are under other time stresses!
Of course we can just pack the bike for you if you are in a rush! Please get in touch early if you are interested in this sevice as we cannot guarantee availability half a day before you fly!
