Packing the bike...
So, if anyone is wondering what a bike looks like packed up and ready to be flown to Africa, here is what it looks like in the box. The box is a Thule bike box, or travel box that you can also put on a roofrack for travel. You can't see the wheels because they are in the layer below this one. Taking the bike apart was fairly simple after a couple times of doing it. The seatpost, pannier rack, pedals, and handlebar came off easily. Hopefully they go on just as easily in a few days! Ha! At least I have four days in Uganda before the bike trip starts to figure this all out and to make adjustments. After I took this picture I went out and got a load of bubble wrap to smother the parts with for extra protection, I'm not sure how it will get handled by the airlines. :-)
Happy New Year!
Steven and I stayed in Cortland for New Year's Eve and ran downtown at 11:55 to see our infamous ball drop, slowly. I think it was about 10 degrees outside, brrr!
