After months of planning and saving, you’re finally ready to move. After spending so much time planning for the move, doing the actual work involved in the process can seem extra tiring. Packing all of your personal possessions and trying to sort them can be difficult and time-consuming, but sometimes the smallest of your items can be the least of your concerns.

Also be sure that your bike is as secure as possible when you strap it down, and before you leave. You can never be too cautious when it comes to transporting your bikes.
