How to Pack & Ship Mountain Bikes: Bicycle Travel & Maintenance Tips
It can be said that the bicycle holds a certain mystique as a simple machine that we can use to move our bodies faster than usually possible, pumping and pushing in sync with the gears and pedals. Cycling is an exciting hobby that allows you to travel a little further than an evening walk would afford, but much faster and usually in the same amount of time.
Bicycle motocross, or BMX, is a style of competitive cycling that is performed on earthen tracks. The sport centers around doing riding tricks or freestyle. Internationally, BMX freestyle has become increasingly popular, even more so than BMX racing. BMX biking became popular in the 1970s in California. Today riders compete against each other on a manmade track, where they can participate in various disciplines including street, park, vert, trails and flatland.
Whether you re a BMX rider who needs to take their bike cross country in a matter of hours and not weeks, or just a cycling enthusiast who wants to go riding in a remote location, watch this free bicycle maintenance and travel video series and learn how to disassemble and pack mountain bikes for shipping. Also get tips on properly removing and protecting bike parts, as well as learn where to go to ship your mountain bike.
