A slightly leftfield question here, but after a career swerve I now work as a tree surgeon, I have got the main tickets and am working regularly for one firm, just starting to do work up in the trees. In order to expand my experience I may do some subcontractor work around London - for which using the bike would be ideal. My forum request therefore I whether anyone has any experience of carrying around a chainsaw on a bike safely, ideally without removing the bar and chain, so something which encases both, is secure and ideally allows me to lock away some gear on the bike while I work, so I think a hardcase pannier system, no topbox as most of my climbing gear fits nicely into a haul bag which I would strap to the back of the bike..

It was a long shot, thanks for the amusing thoughts guys, I am not keen to put a pizza box on the back of my bike.. More mulling to do, or just get used to taking the bar and chain off daily..
You could put a scabbard over it but is the time you're saving by not taking the bar off really worth the risk? It's only one or two bolts. I'd take the bar off for peace of mind. Do you carry your full kit and ropes on a bike?
