And you can use them in the hotel at the pool when you go on vacation!

Oh Leah, you break my poor anti-beausage heart. I must look away!

+1 on pipe wrap. A few bucks’ worth of pipe wrap can save a lot of damage. I’ve 
shipped many bikes all over the place and never a problem.

Get some of that cool blue masking tape to hold the pipe wrap in place. Or 
gaffer’s tape.

That’s a bummer. 

Most hardware stores sell foam pipe covers designed for insulating water pipes. 
They are split along their length. 
I use them whenever I ship a bike or frame. 
They can be used many times over and are easily secured with zip ties. 
Bubble wrap is another option. 
It might be worth putting a kit together since you transport your bikes often 
enough.
