Traveling with a Uni

Didn’t make it to MuniFest this year, but did get out to Moab two weeks after that for some riding with my wife, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law. I was a little worried with the new flying baggage restrictions, but after getting some advice from some experienced uni-travelers, felt much more at ease. So, I figured I’d post a few pictures to show anyone else who may be wondering how to do it. Not that complicated.

I got a parachute bag from an army surplus store, it fit my Kh24 3.0 pretty much perfectly!

Cut two cardboard circles, taped them around the wheel. Left the cranks on, i figured it would be pretty darn tough for the baggage handlers to do something worse to it than I already have…

Yeah, i like duct tape alot…

Fit like a glove…

Packed the frame, seat, and pedals in my suitcase and was good to go! :slight_smile:

Here is my brother-in-law and me warming up at Sovereign.

Sure, this isn’t that big of a drop but did manage to land it on my “off-foot” which made me happy with me being a novice still.

Cool looking shot my wife took…
