An improved method of packaging bicycles for transport or retail is disclose d which involves a minimum of disassembly before packaging. The front wheel (3 0) is removed and secured alongside the frame (22) with a packing disk (12) between to keep the frame (22) and wheel (30) from contacting. The wheel (30 ) is affixed to the frame (22) to reduce movement (18). The right pedal (100) is removed, wrapped, and affixed to the bicycle (16). The left pedal (90) is moved to the lowermost position, out of the way of the front wheel (30). The handle bars (60) are turned and affixed in a position parallel to the frame (22), requiring the packaging to have a minimum width. The derailleur (70) i s set to the furthest inside position. A fork insert (66) is positioned on the fork (64) to keep it from breaking through the packaging (10).
