I would be very greateful to any person who might lend me a bike case for a flight this weekend. I'm travelling to Picton, Ontario to do a fall colours ride for the local Kiwanis club. I'd need to pick up before Friday this week and I can get it back by Tuesday next week.

If anyone can help pls email me at [email protected].

Many thanks.
