Yes it is possible, but hardly worth it, since a good bike here in Brazil will cost you 100 bucks.
Speak with Arnaldo Bichucher (Localyte).

Yes, indeed! Considering you are a serious biker, "she"might be part of your personal luggage. But in case you are a weekend -biker, not that pedalling-guy... be cool and try either buying or renting one in Brazil. It will be cheaper for a non- serious- biker but expensive for a professional one.

Brazil has many bikes for what ever road or off road riding you do. But if your like me i like my bike and have traveled with it where ever I go. If you go to a bike dealer or bike shop ask them for a bike card board shipping box and I think they will give you one, make sure you put FRAGILE and have Arrows with UP & Down on all sides of box.

If you come to Santa Catrina look me up and let's go riding.

There are several places where you can rent a bike in Brazil, all models, I know one very nice in Copacabana for instance!!! It will be more practical if you rent one!

Write to me and tell me what you got, my email is donrafainrio@yahoo.es
