Fly - Bike - Fly & San Juan Islands

Post by Flyhound »

Getting to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island by car involves 2 ferry rides and about a five hour commute - each way. That just isn't worth it for a simple, 90 minute bike ride. A 20 minute flight is another thing all together! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Scxw43_zBh8

Nice video, nice trip! I've had 2 mountain bikes and camping gear in the back of the Maule with a couple of grubby bikers up front. One of the main reasons for buying the M-5 was the baggage door opening allowing for bikes etc.
Thanks for sharing that with us.

Nice video and trip report! Yet another flyer/biker here. My Maule has been ideal for transporting me to some interesting off-airport destinations, which double as starting points for some fun mountain bike day trips.

Very nice!
You have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming a pilot. You can't do both!

Go online to Nashbar.com, the sell very inexpensive bike bags. Pop off the two wheel, put the frame and wheels in and you never have to worry about grease messing the plane.
