I need a bike during my 3-month jaunt to Claremont, CA. One big question is whether I should try to fly with my existing bike, which is a roughly $700 mountain bike, or buy some sort of bike when I get there.
( I would love your advice for transportation on a budget... )
So, to recap:
* Should I fly with my existing bike or buy one when I get there?
* or, is relying on a bike + public transportation stupid in So Cal? Should I get a rental car instead?
UPDATE:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
deaminerva suggests that I try carpooling, which might be possible if I develop relatively regular hours (although I suspect I won't). We'll have to see where I end up teaching/tutoring and at what times. Wikipedia suggests emotorpool as a carpool finder, I'm open to other ideas... This might be a possibility for surviving without a car.
