Trail ride :)

[kimikaw]

Quick comment - know I need to post in the clinic thread, too. Hopefully will have sometime at hotel tonight (at Indy airport now, Chicago later).

Realize that Town Run trail is ver close to the hotel I always stay at when in town for biz. Heck I was within a block or two of it in last 24 hours.......but the boys (DH and kiddo) had taken my bike home. Woulda been fun to try it.

Now I'm scheming how I can have a bike on my biz trips

I guess they don't have folding mountain bikes Ya know, BGI North does mountain bike rentals, that might be an option? I won't ride Town Run until I've more experience under my belt, but it sounds like a great option for you for sure. How often are you in town for biz?

kimikaw, I don't guess you have the option of flying Frontier too often but I believe they've recently changed their policy to charge only normal baggage fees ($25) for bikes.

I'm actually "elite" status with Frontier- being based in Milwaukee where they swallowed up local Midwest Airlines, I fly them or AirTran most trips. I love that they changed their baggage policy re: bikes. Even sent them a note and couple of nice tweets. Just unsure what dragging a bike along will really entail. But something to think about.

Then again rentals may provide opportunities forest out some bikes in my summer long hunt towhat MTB am I gonna buy.

true true. It irks me sometimes how drastically different rental/demo prices can be. I've paid as little as $35 for a mountain bike I adored (in Montana), or as much as $150 (here in town), for 24-48 hours.

(I actually loathe Frontier - I'm US Airways girl - but have conceded that I will give them business simply b/c of that fee change. And I told them that. )

I actually loathe US Airways - I'm a Southwest girl or Frontier in a pinch

And now back to your regularly scheduled conversation...

Actually, they do! For example, the full suspension Dahon Jetstream:
