need to mail our bikes to which lbs???

[Grog]

We are starting a 3 week bike tour in the Portland area and need to ship our bikes ahead of time. I have heard shipping shop-to-shop is cheaper...but which shop would any of you Portlanites recommend??? We will have our own tools to assemble the bikes...we just need a trustworthy shop on the receiving end to hold them till we get there to pick them up.

Make sure you call ahead in any case: I have had bike shops refuse to receive my bike, especially for people they don't know. (Just in case something's not right with your bike - they don't want to get in trouble for it. Which I can understand.)

This being said, in Canada at least it turned out not to be cheaper at all. Your mileage may vary, of course...
