Havent coped with them in a Long time ..
The County , here on the NW oregon coast is served by a different Bus, quite nice..
Lv out of the Main Rail station , and the Hound station, in PDX they're a block apart.
Amtrak OTOH, from Van BC,
by rail will get you as far south, thru Emeryville/Oakland in the SF bay. its the Coast Starlight to LA
there I think there is a east bound train over the Sierras..
and the Talgo train, a commuter link, is more often .. I-5 corridor as far south as Eugene..
You could Order the Bike and pick it up at the Dealer near the trip start.
QBP sells to thousands of bike shops, though The Shop may not stock it..
Here Trek does a creditline to dealers, QBP is 30 days to pay.
maybe the GST on a used bike is less when you cross the border again.
