Walking with the bike and the suitcase has been much easier than I expected. If I had gone straight to the hotel now, I would have been there over two hours too early. As I was passing the bike shop anyway, I stopped, bought a proper bag and put my bike into it. Dismantling the bike took about 40 minutes. That's longer than the bag manufacturers say because they don't consider that bikes have mudguards and panier racks which need to be removed, but about a third of the time that it would normally take me to package a bike. Then again, that might be because the people in there said that I could do it in the shop where it's cool but then I was in people's way so I was trying to hurry up as much as I could.
