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

About this route
Ship between California's Sierra Nevada passes and Maine's Acadia National Park, with 45 miles of carriage roads through coastal forests. Both states offer riding that draws cyclists from around the world year after year.
Maine's Acadia National Park is a cycling treasure, with 45 miles of broken-stone carriage roads originally built by John D. Rockefeller Jr. that wind through spruce forests, past glacier-carved ponds, and over elegant stone bridges. The Cadillac Mountain summit road, while steep and narrow, rewards riders with views of the Atlantic from the first place in the United States to see the sunrise each morning. Beyond Acadia, Maine's Bicycle Coalition has developed the Bold Coast Scenic Bikeway and Downeast Sunrise Trail, connecting coastal communities along the state's rugged eastern shoreline. The rolling farmland of inland Maine offers quiet riding on low-traffic roads through blueberry barrens and beside pristine lakes.
Shipping a bike from California to Maine is one of the longest domestic routes, covering approximately 3,100 miles from coast to coast. Every bicycle receives reinforced boxing with protective padding around the frame, fork, wheels, and all delicate components to ensure it arrives in ride-ready condition. Full coverage is included on all shipments, protecting your bike whether it is a gravel rig for Acadia's carriage roads or a road bike for Maine's coastal highways. Real-time tracking keeps you informed throughout the entire cross-country journey from the Pacific to the North Atlantic.
