I'm very much a fan

I'm yet to do it, but I'm always nervous about it. That said, I also hate having to buy them / dump them when I'm at my destination.

I often wonder what the baggage scanners think when they see my Airshot ( https://www.google.com/search?q=airshot ) on the x-ray, as it must look properly suspect!

Dude, seriously . . .

Ship the bike to Denver. Rent a bike in Tokyo to practice with. It's not worth the risk, and it'll give you much more flexibility with your itinerary.

Yeah, I've never shipped a bike to an event before (never had reason to), but I'll look into it.

I’ve never ‘rated a thread’ before on FlyerTalk but I just gave this one ‘excellent’. Such bizarre, super specific info for something I would never do, but if I wanted to... well, this is where I’d find out. Well done people.
