What's the best method/carrier? She's in Madison, I'm near Chattanooga. Should a bike shop send it, and should it be sent to my LBS?
Is that Madison, GA or Madison, WI? If GA, that's probably only about a 3 hour drive from Chattanooga. If GA, and you can't get there soon, and there's not a really close LBS, PM me and I might be able to help you out.
