7 Bikes & all that gear have to fit in the container. Well it did all fit & our bikes are on their way to Felixstowe in England for us to pick up on the 24th April. Plan is to all meet up at Waterloo Station & travel together to unload bikes. Cant wait !! Container will be shipped from the Port of Lyttelton in the South Island of New Zealand on 7th March. Our method of securing the bikes was to run two chains along the inside of the container attached to the wall approx every metre then strop the bikes front & rear with good tie downs to the chains. Excess bags were placed between the bikes. Will let you know how they arrive. I dont forsee any issues & this method has been used previously for shipping to the UK from New Zealand.
