It looks like cyclists around the holy land can rejoice! The Israeli Airline, El Al, has decided to allow passengers to bring their bikes to and from Israel without charging an “arm and a leg” for extra baggage.
(Israel National News) Bicyclists now can fly their bicycles around the world via El Al, which is offering passengers the opportunity to load their bikes free of charge and without considering them as extra baggage. Previously, passengers had to pay up to $10 a pound.
Perhaps when I visit Israel I will bring a bike with me, as I hear the traffic their can be fierce.
