I remember reading in an old post that it would be easier and possibly cheaper to ship the bike in pieces?

not sure about taking bikes across, but it's easier to go to canada than it is to get back in the us, even as a  citizen. The wife and i went across for a day trip and getting in was easy. just said here's my driver's license and we are going as tourists. coming back in, we were almost detained because I didn't have a passport - which i thought you didn't need for canada, oh well.
