I'm heading to the US next month, travelling around the Midwest and Colorado. Really want to cycle when I'm CO, but the amount of internal flights mean I don't really want to bring the bike bag as A) it's so expensive and B) I probably only have a couple of days to ride.
So I'm looking at getting the bike shipped over and back, can anyone recommend any shippers? You won't get charged duty if it's clearly a well used bike, will I?
All help gratefully received!
Why not use a cardboard bike box?
Could you hire a bike instead?
I might be a load less hassle
I had a mate collect mine and bring it back from the states for me as he was in the area for work anyway
I'd look at hiring for a couple if days myself, probably be cheaper and less hassle.
Freight it to your final destination?
If the internal flights are booked through an airline that doesn't charge a stupid bike fee then you fly on their T&C (print a copy out)
Though for 2 days hire something nice.
Hired recently myself not particularly expensive for good bikes.
We hired in the states for a couple of days.
Nice bikes were not expensive.
