zoltani, thanks for your reply. Yeah, I am also thinking about buying a nice used bike.
We are going to start our trip one week after we arrives in Seattle, We will fly to Seattle on Sep. 17, then buy bikes and shakedowns around Seattle, may start heading south on Sep 25th or so. We are from Beijing.

REI has some nice bikes that could be cheaper than the traditional bike shop route. Otherwise i would recommend recycled cyles. Again, I would buy a bike a few months before you trip and put in some miles before you head off on your trip.
Where are you from? How are you traveling to Seattle? When are you doing this trip?
