Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

shipping bikes

Have any of you found a cheaper way to ship bikes? As I have confronted Fed Ex and UPS the cost is just prohibitive. 250 each way. Plus boxing costs

I think that you can get USPS to ship to a USPS location where you can pick it up. FedEx ground is about 1/4th of what you're quoting but of course that means that the starting and ending point have to be in the US lower 48.

Does Bikeflights hand over the box to the maulers at Fed Ex or UPS?
