Taking your own bike vs renting a bike on vacation.
I might have a unique travel opportunity that came up. It kind of fell into my lap. One of my closest friends moved to the Southern coast of France and offered me miles to compensate me for all the feelings of abandonment.
The purpose of the trip is expressly “cycling.” No kids, partners, to-do lists, etc. So, being a relative novice at overseas cycling trips, is it better to rent a bike or pack a bike? The trip will be roughly a week with some mellower rides and a few big ones. The bike will definitely be used frequently. The biggest factor is cost: is it cheaper to rent or fly with a bike? The next biggest factor is convenience. I’m actually leaning toward bringing one of my own bikes but I really, really hate futzing around with assembling a bike. (The Scicon cases look really convenient for assembly) Any thoughts would be welcome. Thanks. |
