| | Shipping your bike |
| | Body |
| | UPS and Mailboxes, Etc. are to be avoided. They give no warning |
| | if a bike is improperly packed and even sell insurance which is |
| | no good if you packed the bike yourself. |
| | |
| | They require too much disassembly and the wheels won't fit in |
| | the carton. They have to be packed separately, and the carton is |
| | so small that they have to deflate the tires. |
| | |
| | My bike arrived at its destination with the headlight separated |
| | from the handlebars, a smashed rear blinker, and a bent frame. |
| | |
| | The rates are exorbitant. Shipping the bike from Washington, DC |
| | to Lake Geneva, WI cost $103.00 but the seniors fare on AMTRAK |
| | is $64.00 from Washington, DC to Chicago. |
