Long-distance bike delivery service across the United States is our specialty. Every shipment travels through our vetted carrier network, fully tracked in real time from pickup to delivery. As domestic shipping, there is no customs clearance needed, so your bike moves seamlessly across state lines.
buycycle is the leading marketplace for pre-owned bikes, and our shipping service was built to support the cycling community. Thousands of bikes are bought, sold, and shipped across the country every month through our platform. Whether your shipment is related to a buycycle transaction, a race, a relocation, or a holiday, our logistics network is open to everyone.
This route is priced from $116 per shipment. We offer a fixed price with no distance surcharges or hidden fees. Every shipment includes full coverage against damage and loss.
Flying with a bike box means airline surcharges, size restrictions, and the risk of damage in cargo holds. General couriers are not equipped for oversized sporting goods. Our dedicated service solves both problems: purpose-built packaging, careful handling, and door-to-door convenience at a predictable price.

About this route
Send your bike from Alaska's glacier-lined highways to Washington DC's Capital Crescent Trail and scenic loops around the National Mall. The jump from Arctic tundra riding to the curated cycling paths of Rock Creek Park is massive, but your bike makes the trip with full protection.
DC's cycling network has expanded dramatically in recent years, with over 100 miles of dedicated bike lanes and trails weaving through the capital. The Capital Crescent Trail runs 11 miles from Georgetown to Bethesda, while the Mount Vernon Trail follows the Potomac River for 18 miles past Reagan Airport and into Alexandria. Rock Creek Park offers surprisingly hilly terrain through old-growth forest just minutes from the White House. For longer rides, cyclists connect to the 184-mile C&O Canal Towpath heading northwest toward Cumberland, Maryland.
Our shipping service makes it simple to move your bike between Alaska and the nation's capital without the hassle of airline bike fees or oversized baggage. Professional packing protects your frame and components throughout the journey, and full coverage comes standard with every shipment. Delivery is available to any DC address, including apartment buildings and bike shops.
