So, the powers that be have decided that I haven't spent enough time sitting in airplanes and suffering from jet lag, so they are sending me back to California.
I'll be leading a project in Emeryville, CA (just east of San Francisco) from early November until just before Christmas. Yup, I'll be heading back to the states in 3 weeks ...
During the almost 7 weeks I'll be in the area, I would like to take advantage of the weekends and do some riding! Now, since the flight, hotel and expenses are going to cost my company close to $10K (and the person who wrote the offer [NOT ME] "forgot" to include travel expenses, so my company is swallowing these rather than billing the customer!), I am trying to convince them to let me rent a bike instead of a car.
I need some information about bike rentals in the San Francisco area. I would like to rent a standard bike - something like a Suzuki Bandit, if possible. I've never ridden a "heels to the wind" cruiser, and can't imagine that would be very compatible with my riding style. And I *prefer* 4 cylinders, but could get along with 2 ... can anyone recommend a rental place (a web address would be sufficient, to get an idea of prices and availability).
Thanks in advance!
