[net.bicycle] Bicycle rental / purchase in Bordeaux, France

itc@alberta.UUCP (Dan Fackre) (07/11/84)

[]
	A couple I know are planning to bicycle in southern France
during Sept./Oct. Their starting point is in Bordeaux.
	They had the following questions relating to bring/buy/rent
of bicycles;

	-is it possible to buy bikes at short notice in Bordeaux?

	-if the above answer is yes, is it possible to buy from
	 a large selection? (used,new ?)

	-would it be better to rent?

	-is it possible to rent bikes? what would be the rate?
	 (approximately)

	-is the best choice to bring their own bikes all the way
	 from Alberta?

	I realise that the answers to the above are asking a lot
but any help would be appreciated.
	I seem to recall similiar questions being asked on the net
about a month ago. Sorry if this a rehacking of old material.

Please reply by mail ONLY. As usual if there are timely replies I

Thanks in advance;
