I'm going to be participating in the NH Lung Association
Bike Trek in France beginning on May 14th for a week.
I have the option of either using a relatively unknown
bike provided by the bike travel agent, or bringing my own.
I'm leaning towards bringing my own - but I've been told
that I should only bring it if I pack it in a hard bicycle
case.
Now to the question....I don't want to buy one, but would
like to either rent or borrow one. Anyone who has any
ideas of where I could rent one, or has one I could rent
for a week, or better yet borrow for a week, please let me
know!
thanks,
-mary

I took my bike to France last year in a cardboard shipping carton packed
(fairly well, I believe) by Landry's in Westboro, and I agree that a
hardshell case is a good idea. Not only was it a hassle hauling the
unwieldy, unwheeled cardboard box around airports and train stations,
but on both flights the airlines managed to bang the thing around enough
to cause some damage.
When I returned, Landry's told me they rent the hardshell cases out
sometimes, if they have them in stock. At the time, they even sounded
willing to order one for rental purposes. Their number is (508)
836-3878 in Westboro, and (508) 875-5158 in Framingham.
Enjoy the trip; I know I did mine!

My club has hard shell cases for rental. The current rate is $25.00 per week with a $300.00 credit card deposit. The cases can be picked up at: North Fulton Cyclesport just off Alpharetta Highway in Roswell, GA 404/998-2550 For those of you not anywhere close we will ship you the empty case of a slight UPS shipping charge. For further details and availability call the shop, anyone should be able to help but just in case Chuck Ritz is the owner and club president. Happy Travels, Tom | |||||
