I'm planning a trip to Wyoming/Montana for this summer. We'll be doing some biking while there, but lots of other things as well (hiking, kayaking etc.). I'm undecided as to whether I should take one of my bikes (probably my MTB) with me or rent one out there. I don't have a travel container for the bike, so I'd have to borrow one from my club or have my bike shipped out from my local shop to a shop in Jackson.
So what are pluses and minuses of each option? Shipping mine seems like it will be cheaper and then I'll have my bike, which would be nice. But is it a hassle to ship it? Would I be at the mercy of shop I don't know? If I rent, I'll spend more money, but I'll also have the option of renting a MTB for a few days and then a road bike for a few days. That would be cool.
Anybody have any advice on this? I've never traveled with my bike before. I have rented on a few trips and have never been terribly pleased with the bike I got.
Thanks.
