Have you ever done this? Cost? What shipper?

Thanks!
Hi Russ, I did some research as we're coming for month of March (maybe we'll buy our piece of dirt then ). You can buy bikes boxes on the Internet - expensive! CAGirl may have the best idea - go to bike shop. Then I tried to price shipping at FedEx, etc on the Internet and got nowhere. I know we don't want to carry them on our bike rack as it's very inconvenient if you want to stop on the way down to sightsee or whatever. The plane route might be the cheapest if it's $50. Village Cycles is a great shop and rents by the day, wk, etc if you really want to ride. That's the option we're going for. They may even give you credit toward purchase on rental???
