Experience flying with a tandem?

Anyone have experience flying with their tandem? My wife wants to ride the road to Hana in Maui on our tandem and looking for any experience folks have flying with a tandem.

Ya we did that ride last Feb, and flew in with our Santana. We stayed in a lovely hotel in Hana and rode back the next day. You really want to swim on that one in waterfall pool on the way so bring a suit :). Also no water on the route, but there is great food at the banana bread place. For the traveling with the bike, maybe you should give me a call to run through but a few thoughts:

  1. Bring spare parts, which means you’ll need on-frame storage for a change of clothes and a few parts

  2. We pack our tandem into three bags, not two, since it’s just easier and we have to put a lot of clothes around it anyway. So the fork/handlebars goes into a clothes bag.

  3. I have a screen shot of all our spares for tandem touring. Will share.

  4. Ride early and weekday since the traffic on that road can be heavy. We did in Feb and there was very little. It’s 55mi from where we road from and it’s long.

  5. You can continue clockwise around Maui but the day two is barren, no cell coverage, and some dirt and some rough roads and we were like “no” and just road back the next day the same road.

  6. For traveling, just remember sometimes the bike bags go through “oversized” so they need more time. Also, it’s not a bike, but “bike parts”, if anyone asks. Colin 303.358.6544

Touring

Hi folks, Brandi and I are looking for another couple (or two) to do small cycling vacations / tours. We're going to enjoy some of the bigger guided events, but thought it might be fun to coordinate with a smaller group on shorter vacations. Is anyone interested? Flexible on dates / locations.


Cheers!

Mary and I would also be interested finding out what you may have planned.
