If you’re bringing a bike can you dismantle the bike and keep it inside your hire car and/or hotel (alternative to option 1) while you hike snowdon? Its only a few hours.
Where are you staying on holiday? Ask them if you can leave your bike there safely?
Alternatively, can you leave the car with the bike at a secure car park? Maybe pay for parking it at someone’s house? And get a lock for the roof rack.
I wouldn’t want to ride something like the Dragon ride on a borrowed bike.
To add we would be driving across from Peterborough UK. Then staying at various places and stops off in between. Snowdon It is possible to store in the airbnb.
One day for example is a drive from Snowdon to Pembrokshire coast, with midday stop in between. So it either means miss the stop or risk the bike on the locked roof rack.
Has anyone had any luck with sending bikes via courier?
I’m still missing why you cant lock the bike inside the car if you’re worried about leaving it on the roof? Most all cars will fit a road bike with the front wheel removed, even on the back seats.
I’ve used bikedelivery.co.uk to send a bike I sold. Its a 24h service, and depending on how you want to insure it, starts at £26 afaik. But you need somewhere to deliver it too.
I’d put the bike in the car, or see if there is someone else who could take it.
