rent a recumbent

Greetings,

I ride a Rans Stratus XP with panniers and do a lot of self supported
touring in the USA. I am interested in the End to End ride in the
U.K. as well as the circuit of the North
Sea--http://www.challengebikes.com/html/index.php?taal=en&selectie=500

That link is a terrific journal with pictures of a self supported
tour as named by a 60ish Netherlander on a Challenge Fujin.

Is it reasonable to think about renting a recumbent in the U.K. or
perhaps the Netherlands? Shipping my bike--it is a long wheel base
and is subject to both the bicycle fee and the oversize fee. I would
need a bike for about a month. Thanks for any help.

Seems very expensive to me.

Maybe you could drop these an email:

In Antwerp, Belgium. A stones throw from Holland.

These in the Netherlands are a bit cheaper, 24 Euros a day:
