FLCC> bike transportation

[Ernie Bayles]

I don't know about bus.  It used to be you could take bikes on the train 
for free, and you didn't have to pack them, and they would let you 
supervise where they went in the baggage car, but that was like 100 year 
ago.  A quick phone call would confirm. 

If you UPS, you should really try to meet the size restrictions so that 
you can get a reasonable deal.  Unfortunately, most bike boxes (and the 
bikes inside them) are just over the limit.  But with some 
modifications......

I'm sure someone has better info.
