Nice...I'd love to go to CR.
A good friend of mine started a company in Costa Rica offering guided tours called Extreme Adventures Unlimited about 6 years ago. Well it really didn't take of and she started doing nature hikes with the occasional Mountain Bike trips. She also became involved in a program where coffee growers get paid better for there organic beans. Both business' took off and she went to the Domincan Republic to setup a business there. 2 years ago she was killed by bandits in the Domincan Republic. I know they still operate her the touring company but under another name. I searched the internet for it and couldn't come up with anything. The dude that runs the business now is her step brother Sam Dibiase. I have no way of getting a hold of him. I know they rent bikes so I am sure if you went there are probably not be many operators there. I however wouldn't take your bike. My buddy went down there and his bike was stolen enroute to Costa Rica. He said they snagged it in Mexico City when he was changing flights.....jdcamb
Sounds like it would be a great place to ride, real adventure riding i imagine, bring a compass just don't ride past the equator you'll get all screwed up. 
I have a direct flight to CR, so I don't know if I'll have a problem with theft, but it is a concern. I'll only be there for a week and I suppose I'll have other things to do besides biking (plus I think its still the rainy season there so I could only get rides in during the morning?). Its pretty expensive to bring your bike along, but I'm not sure. I brought my bike with me to NZ on a 45 day trip there and MTB in 12 different cities in that country.
