I fedex'ed my bike and trailer (oddly enough it was cheaper than anything other than renting a truck and driving myself). I will then fly in (over $450 from Utah to Rural Kansas. . . I kid you not, I can fly from SanFrancisco to Shanghai for the same price. . .). So, to your list, I would suggest adding access to a variety of long-distance mass-transit.
