Is it really cheaper? Hubby and I rented a tandem in Vancouver for the day...it was about $60. Ama rented one for $20 for ONLY 2 hours!! We are getting a car for a day for $40. How many days are you renting? I am thinking that with the cost of gas added in it would be similar but I have not done any research! I would approach the person signing off on the expenses...BUT go in with an estimate of what a car would cost (including gas) and a bike...if they are comparable (or the bike is cheaper as Mimi suggested) how could they say no???

I know my bosses would be thrilled if I rented a bike instead of a car on a business trip!!!!
