<p>This has been very helpful. I really like the train solution, that may be our method once we get past freshman year. We are wondering about the best way to get a good basic bicycle back and forth. We are driving - it’s about 800 miles - so I suppose that we could purchase a bike rack, but the only time it would be used is back and forth from school. I’d probably prefer to ship it if there is a reasonably priced way to get it there undamaged. Anyone have any experience with that?</p>
