My wife and I will be traveling from Boston to California in March and have 4-5 days to explore the Bay area, which will involve visiting friends in Palo Alto, downtown SF, and Napa, and, I hope, a pilgrimage to the Riv HQ. We were hoping to do this exploration mostly by bike - credit card style, although probably trains, ferries and even a rental car may come into play (details are sketchy at this point). Any recommendations for how to get a reliable riv-ish ride for that time? I'm considering shipping our bikes (seems cheaper than bringing them on an airplane) but it makes me nervous. I'd prefer to rent, but most of what's out there seems to be offering skinny tired carbon bikes or hybrids, neither of which appeals to me. On a previous similar thread, someone suggests Karim's used bikes in Berkeley but elsewhere on the internet, it's reputed to be a fence for thieves. Bay Area Bikes offers the Big Dummy which is an attractive option but probably overbuilt for our needs (it makes my wife a little nervous). I'd go out of my way for a good rental so if you know of somewhere else in the Bay Area I should consider, let me know. Thanks! - John
