I'm hoping to head there in a month or so and might have a few days to kill. Would appreciate some advice if anyone has experience of cycling in the area etc.
1. Should I take my own bike or rent when there (road bike pref).
B) if I do take my own, should I rent a box or bite the bullet and buy one?
2. What's the region like for riding? I'll be staying in heart of manhattan, but would be open to heading off the island for a few hours ride.
3. Plenty of airlines are offering 'up to 23kg' for a bike box. Given the bike boxes I've seen are 10-12kg, what's best for keeping weight down? Split some bike bits into my other lighter case?
Thanks in advance.
