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.
Whether you are chasing Marin County, Big Sur, Mt. Tamalpais or simply moving to a new city, our service connects California and Kentucky without the hassle of flying with a bike box or driving across the country.

About this route
From the birthplace of mountain biking on Mt Tamalpais to Kentucky's Red River Gorge singletrack and scenic Bourbon Trail routes. Ship your bike between two states that each celebrate cycling with distinctive regional flair.
Kentucky's cycling scene blends rugged Appalachian terrain with rolling bluegrass farmland and a growing trail network. The Red River Gorge area in Daniel Boone National Forest offers technical singletrack through sandstone arches and cliff-lined gorges that feel worlds apart from California's chaparral-covered slopes. The Bourbon Trail provides scenic road riding through horse country, passing distilleries, stone fences, and historic estates between Lexington and Louisville. Mammoth Cave National Park adds its own cycling options, with quiet park roads winding above the world's longest known cave system. Louisville's expanding urban trail network and the annual Old Kentucky Home cycling tour round out a state that has something for every discipline.
Shipping a bike from California to Kentucky covers approximately 2,200 miles through desert, plains, and Appalachian foothills. Each bicycle is securely boxed with protection for the frame, wheels, handlebars, and shifting components to handle the cross-country journey. Full coverage is included on every shipment, giving you confidence whether you are sending a trail bike for Red River Gorge adventures or a road bike for bourbon country tours. Real-time tracking lets you monitor your bike's progress across the country from California to the Bluegrass State.
