The bikeses are boxed

Well, that wasn't really what I would call easy.  Took all day.  Blood, sweat and tears (whining, anyway) were involved.  No pictures, sorry.

Highlights:

• Getting done.

Lowlights:

• All other phases of the process.  Especially the parts where the bikes wouldn't fit into the boxes.

Two Wheel Drive was very helpful and I wish I had gone there initially.  I got the boxes at Fat Tire, but the bike-packing widgetry they gave me there was incomplete because I didn't know what to ask for.  The guy at Two Wheel just let me dig through their big bucket of widgets and scurry off with what I needed. 

I also found these helpful:

Now the health and safety of our bikes is in the hands of US Airways.  This end up, people.  Clearly marked.
