I feel your pain. I dragged a big serfas box with a bike and gear through a bunch of european cities, not fun at all dragging that thing over coblestones.
I did okay flying though, caught a bunch of different flights/trains around scandinavia & europe on some iceland air special. When they asked, I told them it was bike parts, but I never got charged extra. Oh, and two dollar tuborgs on the flight, can't beat that.
