We are two cyclists coming from California to ride the Katy Trail in May. Is there a bike shop or other facility in the Kansas City area where we might ship our boxed bikes by UPS or FedEx and avoid the expensive airline surcharges? We understand that there might be a fee for such a service.

Thanks for your help,

Why the Kansas City area, might I ask?

Depending on what area you look into starting the trail, you might consider searching bike shops and receiving areas (Kinkos or the like) in bigger towns along the trail where you wish to start. As long as you don't take too long to pick up the bikes after their arrival, I'm sure someone will accomodate you if you accomodate them for their time and storage space.

Now this seems to be an idea for someone in Clinton to make a little money.. Have a place people can ship to in Clinton and pickup your bike for a fee... I would go for it.... Anyone in Clinton interested?

call Epic Bike and Sport 816-382-3100 and see if they'll accommodate you. they are close to
the airport so you can pick up your bikes after you land.

You may also want to consider shipping the bikes via Greyhound. I restore vintage bikes and sometimes use Greyhound shipping services because it is cheap and easy. Plus I've never had any problems with delays or damage. You would need to pick up your bike at the downtown KC Greyhound station.
