How to pack your bike for air travel. from Shane on Vimeo.
This is a short film with tips on how to pack your bike for air travel.
Remember baggage handlers are paid to load things quickly not carefully (believe me I see it everyday). So the trick is to try and make your bike as bombproof as possible without it getting too heavy.
I hope this rather boring film is of use to somebody. Enjoy...
Rohloff cog removal with improvised chain wip from Shane on Vimeo.
Many of us forget or dont want to take a heavy chain wip on a long bike tour. Here is the solution.
Improvised with a piece of wood and an old piece of chain, and borrow a hammer and adjustable spanner from a local bike shop or garage.
You can make a tool and replace/ turn around your Rohloff cog in 20 minutes.

Cycling in Uganda pt 1 : How to get lost in Uganda from Shane on Vimeo.
In jan 2011 I cycled for almost a month in Uganda. Here's the first video.
This was one of my hardest days ever, not so much due to the 95km cycling on bad roads, but more the dragging my bike through farmers fields up and down hills of 20% gradient for 2km.
I apologise for the poor quality, I set up my camera wrong for this trip, better luck next time.
