Driving a truck to Erie/Buffalo area soon?

I'm seeking someone who is driving a truck or a van to the Erie/Buffalo area (Chautauqua, NY specifically) in June and would be willing to deliver a tandem bicycle to me there. Happy to pay for your troubles, help with gas $$, etc. Dates very flexible. Thanks!


I'll bet you could hire @Tom_Reingold to ride it there for you. grin

I was thinking exactly the same thing. (I was about to tell you to update the thread title accordingly but then I remembered that we don't have that capability yet.) Maybe you could PM him if he doesn't see this thread and post soon.


I'm driving there (Van Buren Bay) with a bike rack, but not until August.


How large is the bike? I may be going next week.

Nice thought!

I wonder if there is some way to find truck drivers doing a particular route at a given time. That would be so handy.

Smells like a new business opportunity. You could call it Tuber, as in Truck Uber.


Or if it's for bike transport you could . . .

Never mind.


Thank you, j_r, but I want to use the bike this summer.

Thanks for the attention to my post and the jokes. Any ideas where I might post to cast a wider net? Is Craig's List reliable for this type of thing?

Peggy, it's a tandem…very much like the one in the photo. I'm researching options for carrying it on my roof (I have a bike rack, but it's suitable only for a single). If you think you can handle it, I'd love to talk.



Update: I contracted with www.uship.com. Thanks for the help, everyone.
