Ryanair

Heading to Malaga for 2 weeks in late June and want to bring my own bike rather than hire one. Anyone have experience of bringing their bike with Ryanair? Thanks in advance :)

Side note - just travelled AL from Marseille with four bikes (not all for me). Bubble wrap and gaffer tape on the chain/chainrings/derailleur/cassette. Pedals off. Bars turned sideways. Girl at checkin wanted us to take them to 'safebag' to have that cling-film put on them, that paranoid people put on their suitcases...we refused, as we've never had to before. Supervisor called. 'All grand'. Four bikes arrived no hassle, all good, in Dublin.
Not the most bike-protective way to carry them on the plane, but unless you're cycling in a big circle, scrounging cardboard bike boxes at the end of a tour is a massive pain.

Leaving Dublin, we always get boxes from the LBS. Coming home, it varies between cardboard boxes from a local shop, or some bubble wrap+tape. So far, so good.
