"Iberia has "new" regulations that are "more comfortable and safe" for its flights. Bicycles are 150 euros each on any flight.
If you've got a ticket booked with Iberia and you booked it before the policy changed at the end
of April, you can contact the airline and get the fee waived since the fee didn't exist when you booked the ticket.
The biking groups here in Madrid have filed complaints with AENOR, the Spanish standards agency, to demand that Iberia have its ISO 14001 certification - the one that says that they have policies in place to defend the environment - revoked.
They're not directly related, but another action that might hit home would be to call your local branch of the Spanish National Tourist Office and tell them that you have no intention of flying Iberia because of the change in policy. The SNTO is a branch of the Ministry of Industry and they're very sensitive to anything that might deprive them of tourist money.
