  1. If u check the website:http://www.aaamoving-store.com/ ,you will came to know so many good automobile moving companies on shore and all relating things.


  2. Break down your bike, ie: wheels, pedals, seat, handlebar. Get a box from your local bike shop. Pack it well. Ship it with UPS. This the the cost effective way. If you want to spend a "little" bit more. Take the bike to the shop and have them do it for you. You will need to ship it yourself.

    Note: if you know you will not be around to sign for the bike, have UPS hold for pickup.

    I did not recommend taking it with you on your flight, because with the cost of flights currently it will be too expensive. Some airlines charge for the first checked-in bag ($15). Also I don't know how you will be able to transport it after getting off the plane.

  3. You can also buy/rent bike traveling cases, but you have to pretty much take the bike apart to put it in a carrying case.  The hard cases would allow you take it on a plane as extra baggage, or in the back of a car if you are driving. I see ads on Craigslist in my area all the time with people advertising these cases for sale/rent.  You can also just buy one, but they are a bit pricey for a one-use item.
