Dang.... don't remind me.... thinking of doing the Mackinac Island thing yet
this summer.... even $45 per day is crazy. Let me know when Goodwill has
some foldup mountain bikes, will ya?


Depends on your airplane, but I've found that many are capable of
taking a full size bikd if you take the wheels off. With modern bikes,
that only takes seconds and maybe a minute to put them back on.


Well, we would need four bikes. While that is technically possible
with the smallest folding bikes (barely), it would leave no room for
the baggage, tents, etc. we carry to OSH.

No, the Goodwill bike thing has absolutely improved OSH 100% for us --
and I didn't think it could *get* any better! To be able to ride
around all week, to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night in
SECONDS (rather than minutes), to save literally MILES of wear and tear
on my feet -- wow, what a great thing.

And, best of all, it benefits a really good cause. My only fear is
that they will wake up next year and realize that they could have
charged twice as much!
