Shipping a bike through China on a truck
As I'm planning a trans EuroAsian bike trip trying to get from Central Asia to Laos and Thailand seems to be the most challenge when I comes to China.
I've thought about going from Kyrgyzstan through Tibet/China to Laos but the red tape, licensing, permits and a mandatory hired escort guide, looks to be not only complicated but very expensive. I was thinking instead to have the bike shipped by truck from the Kyrgyzstan - Chinese border and delivered to the Pakistani border on the Karokham pass. And then ride from the through Pakistan and India and if possible through Myanmar and if not then possibly shipped from Calcutta to Thailand. I'm thinking if a bike can be if needed crated up and pass through China in transit only while eliminating the headaches and costs if this is possible or not?
So I'm seeing if anyone here might've had any experience for knowledge in regards of shipping a bike through China on a truck?
