So rather than paying $100-$150 each way to take your bike to the race, your bike flies at a fraction of the cost. TJ has clear videos that show you exactly how to pack your bike, so there’s no guesswork, and pure protection for your valuable equipment. Rock Star Triathlete Academy members can use the code at the end of this post to get free shipping to anywhere in the US!
