Bike Transporter

Looking to get a bike transported from Swindon to Worcester in the not too distant future (not sure of the exact date yet but its likely to be a saturday). I don't have a tow bar so trailer hire is a non starter, I suppose I could hire a van but I'm not too confident I could secure the thing without causing damage and I don't have any straps or what ever. The bike can be ridden back so a single journey either on a trailer or in a van is all that would be required (including rider). Are there any local companies that would be able to offer a quote for this service?
Thanks in anticipation
Andy

Had a quick look and it seems there are a couple of bike transporters in your area, failing that you could always give blade a call, cheers wes

Hi Conehead - I sent you a message to your page on Facebook, but it would have gone to your 'other messages' folder :)

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Conehead for a great job in getting me and my bike to our destination yesterday. He turned up with all the gear necessary to ensure we arrived unscathed and on time! :cool: At a very reasonable price too.
I would highly recommend Craig if you need your bike (or anything else) shifted, and I know who to call next time I need a reliable van and driver service...

It was my pleasure Andy. Good to see you got back alright with all that ice about. You also forgot your drink in the van but fear not as it found a good home. I will get you another when I next see you. Thanks again for the great feedback.
