I believe there is a bike trail that goes up highway 95, but I'm not sure how far. The Coeur d'Alene side is a little busy, lots of lights and stops, but once you get past town if there is a trail it wouldn't be too bad. If there is no trail, I'd be a little intimidated about riding it with only two of you -- sometimes I'm intimidated just driving it It does look, however, from the Bicycle Idaho map that you guys will be traveling parallel to highway 95 for a while the next day, so maybe they have a route that would work.

Looks from the map like it's about 20 miles from CdA to Silverwood (technically in a town called Athol... yes, for real ). Not sure you'd want to add 40 more miles to your trip, but I think biking it would be possible.

You could call a taxi, might be more expensive than driving yourself, but it is an option (and more convenient than having to rent and return a car?). You could schedule it ahead of time so you know they will be there to take you and pick you up. Too bad you're in town on a Thursday, or I'd offer to take you guys myself. We can always use an excuse to go to Silverwood

For rental cars, it looks like Avis has a car rental location in downtown CdA, hours: Sat-Sun 9-4; Mon-Fri 8-5. Dollar also has one in downtown CdA, hours: Sat-Sun 8-4; Mon-Fri 7:30-5.

Some of the local hotels do have Silverwood packages, so maybe those would include transportation, too? Not sure on that one. Worth considering if you're going to stay in a hotel.
