    Keep us informed of what you decide to do/how it all worked out.

    I keep planning all these long trips that require getting my bike to a starting point (then making my way home). I'd like to keep abreast of real-life issues.

    BTW, does it seem like the airlines are trying to keep us from flying, or is it just me?

    Remembering the days when flying was less of a hassle - and dating myself...
    Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

    and Cheaper! *shakes head*
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    Definitely think this over....

    I only shipped a bike once by air. I had it packed by the bike shop, but the airline still managed to total it....

    Little bit of legal advice on VeloNews regarding shipping

    Since I'll be shipping my bike to Utah at the end of May, this is very timely. I was cringing as I read the 1st couple of paragraphs.

    Bicycling Mag also had a little article on shipping recently and noted that FedEx was about 2/3s the cost of UPS.

    Definitely going to make sure my Daisy is insured full-value.
