Shipbikes.com is a safe, convenient way to ship your bicycle anywhere in the contiguous U.S. If you have a K9100 Aircaddy all you need to do is lower or remove the seat, rotate the handlebars back, and remove the front wheel. Your bicycle's precise derailleur and brake adjustments are unaffected, and your pedals stay on the bike. Even triathlon-bars fit neatly in the front section of the AirCaddy. Why wait in long lines at the airport? Avoid the hassle; all you need is a credit card, phone or computer, and a small roll of packing tape.

New for 2010: you can use the same shipbikes.com service to ship your hard shell plastic case or standard cardboard box starting at $35.

1. Purchase your K-9100 Compact AirCaddy container for $99.95, or use your own hard shell plastic case.

2. Pack your bicycle using the easy-to-follow instructions. Maximum weight of the packed AirCaddy, hard shell plastic case or standard cardboard box is 60 lbs.

3. Go to schedule shipping and delivery to enter your shipping and billing information (one-way shipping rates begin at $35). After receiving your instruction sheet and shipping label via e-mail, simply print and attach the shipping label to your packed AirCaddy or hard shell plastic case.
