BICI ITALIA RECOMMENDS
Airport Ninja Case by Orucase
More than a case…it’s a story. One that most cyclists ‘get’. Whether your a racer or everyday enthusiast, traveling with your bike is a forethought, not an after thought. It’s a must.
For years, pretty much a lifetime really, I’ve had my bike (dare I say bikes) travel with me and it was always a struggle to find the best ‘packing solution’. Whether car or plane, getting your bike in an ‘easy to manage’ state was always cumbersome and complicated. Then there is the worry of protecting your bike during it’s travel. And further yet, the cost associated with travel and damage it can do to your budget (no matter how wealthy you are, paying airline fees sucks).
This Bike Travel Complication Trifecta: cumbersome, unprotected, exorbitant cost; magically disappeared when the Airport Ninja entered our equation.
Easy. Safe. No extra fees. No way we would travel with anything else. And we travel. A lot. And it doesn’t stop with us. All the clients who arrived at BICI ITALIA Custom Cycling Tours have given it two-thumbs up.
SEND MY BAG
Our partnership began with Send My Bag when other bike shipping options failed us. Our research lead us to SMB and we quickly realized the service was ‘beyond bikes’.
Just about every tour ends up purchasing too much wine or collects a little more souvenirs than expected. Inquiries to ‘ship stuff home’ was a common theme.
Send My Bag has been one of our more utilized recommendations and with great success and even greater reviews.
You simply pack your bag, create an account online (using our discount link), complete the forms, schedule your pick up/shipment info, attach labels and … done. Your bag travels from door-to-door without you having to haul it around.
Door-to-Door shipping is great for extra bags (and airline fees), bikes and cycling gear. It’s a fantastic option for cyclists who want to travel before or after their cycling tour by sending their gear. It cuts down on the ‘hauling and carrying clutter’ and makes traveling light a possibility.

SKYROAM
This device is with us 24/7. No matter where are are in the world, it’s with us. It keeps us connected wherever we go. Securely. 5 devices. Unlimited Data via 24 hour passes.
Over the years, we’ve tried it ALL. Skyroam devices allow us to stay connected with family, friends and clients. It’s afforded us WiFi to navigate to many new places. Dare we say it’s gotten us out of some pretty sticky situations.
LISTEN UP! WiFi is NOT the same in as home in the USA when you travel. Especially in Italy. No matter where you stay here, the infrastructure is just not great. Layer on three foot thick stone walls and wind, and well, no WiFi.
Skyroam is a SIM-less solution that uses satellite. It’s not tied to a supplier, tower, wire, fiber and is able to connect just about anywhere in the world. It’s your personal WiFi, safe and protected (no need to join hacker-full free WiFi).
While we have WiFi at our property, we STRONGLY encourage you to consider purchasing or renting a Skyroam device. We may even make it mandatory if you need to conduct business while on tour with us. Kidding not kidding.
