Roughly speaking, how much would this cost if the bikes were provided by owners free of charge? I'd be willing to donate $25 to 40, but probably not more. If it is within reach if we get _______ people to donate $25 to _____ I think it would be really cool to see the results.

If you get the bikes donated, probably in that $8-9k range.

The more bikes people want tested, the more $ it costs. Once you load that first bike you're spending >$12 per minute. Changing a bike is 8-12 minutes or ~ $150. Do that 8x and you're spending > $1000 in changeover time

If you want to do 2, 3 or 4 riders to make it more applicable to more people then you've added a layer of complexity. That's going to be 3-4 thousand per rider in tunnel time.
