... Instead of going through the hassle of checking in your bicycle and probably having to be 'taxed' for it when clearing Immigration at Ngurah Rai; plus it takes up your allowable baggage, why don't you buy one at Carrefour, Giant, Hypermart or Makro. It isn't really that costly. And when you leave Bali, you could do another good deed by donating it to one of the many deserving families that you will come across.
Contrary to what many people might think, Bali has modernized. There are many items that you have here in Bali where you will find in many modernized countries. Sometimes it may also surprise you what you can find here. Hope this helps you decide.
