Additional Information: Pick-up: At my house, which is in Menlo Park between San Jose and San Francisco, and has plenty of easy street parking. Or somewhere very nearby.
Drop-off: The sidewalk in front of my new apartment in Philadelphia. Or somewhere very nearby.

Content: Not much, just what's shown in the photos. The bikes can be easily broken down (wheels and seats removed) if need be.

Total Weight: My conservative estimate for everything shown is 650 lb.

Needs: I don't require any loading/unloading assistance, since it'll take me less than 15 minutes to load the items shown (see photos).

This would probably work best in combination with another shipment along the same route, so feel free to contact me if you'll be going my way. Ideally, pickup would be before Wednesday, May 20th, and drop-off would be after Thursday, May 21st, but I can be flexible with this, so if you'd require different times, just contact me with a price estimate and the dates that would work for you and I'll see if it's possible. My goal is to do this at a low price, since I don't have much.
