Cycling the Camino

I am cycling the Camino later in September. When booking flights, it sounds like since the increase in the price of oil, it will cost me about $450 each way to get my bike there. Seems like it would make more sense to purchase a bike and then donate it to charity when I am done. Any suggestions/ideas about this? Renting may also be an option. Also, if I am to start in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, is it better to fly into Madrid or Paris?

Thanks for any insights.

Hi and welcome to the forum myrnapark,

One alternative could be to rent a bike from this company:
http://www.tournride.com

.. they are in Santiago and will ship the bike to anywhere in Spain. Then you just bike it back.

Greetings from Santiago de Compostela,

I have been to the site, but I don't read Spanish!! I will send them an email and see if they respond in English. Thanks for the lead, Ivar. Do you live in Spain, given your signature??

Yes, I live in Santiago and I have talked to the guy that runs Tour-n-Ride. He speaks broken English, but enough that I think you will get a reply in English if you write him.

If not, let me know and I can help you out.

Saludos,
Ivar

Hey Myrnapark - you all set for your Sept journey? WE are also planning on cycling, and we are thinking of using TournRide. Did you decide to use them? Hope you have a great journey!
