Dead Dogma

A friend's bike. Don't know the complete story but it appears airline related.

Well, on the bright side, the airline won't be able to argue that it's just cosmetic damage...

Impressive. Was the bike used as landing gear?

Keep us posted on the outcome of your friend's claim.

I'll bet the airline denies the claim and says the bike was not packaged properly.

Well, at least the areas with foam wrap were protected.

You may be right but my response would be to ask what I’d need to in order to ensure this didn’t happen. Like do I need to pack my bike in a concrete case?

This does make me wonder, and apologies if I missed this, what kind of case was the bike in and what does it look like? To me the only way this happens if the bike is in a hard shell case is if a very heavy vehicle drives over the case, which I suspect would also be damaged. I suppose if someone took the bike out of the case there are other explanations as well?
