Well, as its only 22 miles.

How about unpacking the bike boxes, and riding the bikes ๐Ÿ˜‰

Or if that's not an option.

Hire a van.

Turn them into rafts- the Tweed is a tributory of the Forth, it'll take you straight to Leith.

Controversial! Is Berwick the new Gibraltar? ๐Ÿ˜†

When - in on Friday morning, back Sunday afternoon.
Bike Bus a possible - means deboxing the bikes and still needing to transport them with us anyways
How much - as little as possible

Van hire a possibility, could just get it for the weekend then and use accordingly

I used to do this for Andy McKenna and Go-Where...

Week or Weekend ?

BikeBus is a great option.

Options:
Van hire... LWB T5 from VW dealers Straiton. VW do their own Van Hire.
Europa Car Seafield rd, CityCentre or Airport.
Northgate out at Broxburn

HTH

Does the BikeBus only do specific days then - or is it available for "private" hire?
