Ron, you can get that convenience for *free*.

Simply hide the bicycle in the garage for a week, and pretend that 
you don't have it.

And then you can stay home for two or three days, pretending that
you have to do that so that the bicycle can be delivered.

No need to spend extra for that convenience.
