Speaking of traveling light, packing for my summer cross-country bike adventure should be an interesting challenge. The packing list is truly impressive, but in past years they made people send stuff home because of weight issues with their truck.
I've got get my bike accessories, bike clothes, camping gear, casual comfortable clothes, electronics, etc all into enough bags that I can take on the train. i suppose I could ship some of the stuff along with my bike. Anybody familiar with recent domestic bike shipping rates? :ughhhh:

When I shipped my bike in December in its Thule box with some various extra gear, FedEx Express Saver, it was $230. I want to say it was 65 lbs total, but that's a guesstimate.

If you log into FedEx you can price a shipment regardless of whether you wind up sending it or not. Enter dimensions, weight, which service you want, origin and destination, and it'll give you a price.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler
