Round trip, $50. Puts a small ding in the Bike Friday suitcase concept. 
:-( (But I suppose that with some effort one could pack one's street 
clothes in a carry-on bag.)

If you can afford it, $50 is still better than not having a bike, but it 
certainly encourages one to at least look for rental options. I'll be 
visiting my folks, soon, and that resolves the 
"do-I-want-to-bring-along-the-BF" question for me (I they store a 2nd 
bike for me).
