For the 2014 West coast USA trip we bought the bikes in Vancouver, as it was cheaper and less fuss than transporting bikes from Europe. We bought 3 slightly modified entry level Specialised Sirrus 2015 hybrid bikes, which proved to be a good choice for approx 600CAD. We had no problems what so ever - except for usual flat tyres.
