The Border Patrol takes care of them for a bribe.

*snerk*

I've been pricing rentals and shipping mine. I could buy one for the
rental fees on 3-4 weeks of use and leave it with the oldest son.
Shipping is the same deal. ~$2500 round trip. =:o

Perzackly. It doesn't take long for rental fees to add up to the price
of a bike. You can ship for a reasonable fee, but arrival time is too
arbitrary.(*) Flying is best but expensive. That's why operations like
Knopf are a good thing.

(*) One woman shipped her bike _12_ weeks before her trip and it
_still_ didn't get there on time.

Thank you, kind sir. I shall. But please, for my edification, (I don't
wish to be insulting,) when referring to you, which part of your
moniker gets the emphasis - The, Old, or Gentleman?
