Oh yes please!
please
This would be a great tool to get my bike from A to B knowing it's still in one piece!
please
A plastic box full of excitement and inspiration!
I hope I win!
That would certainly come in handy right enough.
Me please
I need one for December please
Perfect for protecting my Italian beauty.
Looks great - just what I need for next summer, please!
Throw my name in the hat! Ta!
yes please
I would certainly like one of these.
I'm planning my first trips abroad with my bike next year so this would give me peace of mind on the flights to rest rather than worry what condition it will be in when I get there!
Occasion when this box would have saved me much grief:
Getting off the Eurostar in Brussels the evening before the 2012 Tour of Flanders sportive (having spent months training for and obsessing about the full-length route) to be told my bike didn't make it onto the train, no-one knew where it was (it could have been anywhere on the Eurostar network), and there was no chance of it getting to Belgium before the ride. Having a lovely box like this would mean I wouldn't have to let it out of my sight.
(Happy ending: the wonderful people of Eurostar's Brussels office found the bike (still in London), got it on the last train to Brussels (confusion over the hour time difference meant they were wrong about the impossibility of the bike reaching Brussels), and I did the full Ronde the next day (though after much less sleep than I hoped for)!
So please can I have a Shok Box?
Count me in!
Yes please. Just what I need for taking bike on holiday in summer!!!
Now all I need is a decent bike to take away and get some use out of one!
I'm taking the Cervelo on holiday with me next month. This would be a fine upgrade to the usual option of wrapping it in all my kit and putting it in a big bike shop cardboard box, then praying the baggage staff aren't the usual gorillas that day.
We went to the NEC show last year and it was great - we hadn't brought any food so snacked on all the free energy bars. Highest calorie lunch I've ever had. A chance to go again would not be missed.
