>My son and I went to a bike shop 25 miles from Madrid.  They freely gave us
boxes that they would ordinarily throw away.  Must pack the bike carefully to
get it into the new bike box.  Maybe ask them if you can watch them take a bike
out of the box so you can see how to put your bike in.  Santiago shouldn't be
any different that a bike shop in a suburb of Madrid, verdad?  And,  you can't
pack the bike too tight.  Wrap everything tight.  How they manage to beat up
the box, ugghhhhh.
