Creativity in problem solving is part of touring ...

I used and discarded cardboard boxes as my bike tours did not always form a loop , starting in one country and leaving from another..

Where I am now , A touring destination, some people use a hard case and pay to have it shipped to where they next will use it.

Or use a cardboard box ...

at the end of the season there is a service to box and ship of bikes for people who end their transcontinental tours here..

Reusing boxes and packing materials from earlier bikes built up for crossing the other way , and new bikes on the sales floor..


...
My last tour I started in Dublin , and left from Aberdeen made up a long enough box from 2, with a good amount of packing tape

my panniers in plastic bags used for shipping chicken feed grains ...
