bike rental or buying a bike plus other questions...
We are staying in ixtapa from Jan-Mar and we're looking to bike every day. Anyone know of good bike places to rent or to buy bikes - mountain bikes as we plan to do the cyclepista and some dirt roads as well?
Also, any good places to rent cars and scooters as well?
we would like to volunteer some time in alcopolco and area as it I heard it got hit pretty badly again. Is there a place we can sign up to volunteer to help out some place?
and, is there a cheap way to get there?
what is the cheapest way to get to Oxxaca and Hautalco ? bus or fly or rent a car... I think its 15 hours to get there?
thanks in advance, looking forward to heading back to ixtapa.

Bi-Zihuanas rents mountain bikes in Ixtapa.
There is a guy downtown that rents scooters but he wants way too much money for scooters that are barely still functional. You can rent a car for less. He's on Hermenegildo Galeana. He is also kinda' surly.
Be careful renting cars. I only rented one once. I showed the guy the letter guaranteeing insurance from my credit card company -- in Spanish! -- and he finally agreed to waive the insurance fee. He demanded a $500 hold on my credit card which I agreed to. Sure enough, he sent the hold through as a transaction. I called him and he denied ever agreeing to our agreement. The credit card company removed the transaction. This was Green Motors, as I recall the name.
The bus ride from Zihuatanejo to Huatulco appeared brutal. From Huatulco, I flew to Mexico City, spent a day in the Zócalo, and then flew to Zihuatanejo.
Rob would know if the busses are running again from Zihuatanejo to Acapulco. It's about 4 hours.
Have fun!
