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 Delaware and California without the hassle of flying with a bike box or driving across the country.

About this route
Ship from the Tour of California's mountain stages to Delaware's flat, breezy Cape Henlopen trails and Junction-Breakwater path. California's legendary variety and Delaware's relaxed coastal routes offer something for every rider.
Delaware may be the second-smallest state, but its cycling community is remarkably active. The Junction and Breakwater Trail near Rehoboth Beach draws riders to its crushed-stone surface through pine and wetland scenery, while the 14-mile Bob Carpenter Trail connects Newark to the White Clay Creek valley. Cape Henlopen State Park offers paved loops with Atlantic Ocean breezes and views of the historic lighthouse. Riders coming from California's steep mountain stages and technical descents will find Delaware's terrain forgiving on the legs, making it a welcome contrast for recovery rides or relaxed exploring along the Mid-Atlantic coast.
The distance from California to Delaware covers about 2,700 miles, so proper packing is essential to keep your bike safe throughout the journey. Every shipment includes secure boxing with padded protection for the frame, fork, and drivetrain components. Full coverage is standard, giving you peace of mind whether you are shipping a carbon road bike or an aluminum gravel rig. Real-time tracking means you can follow your bike's progress from the West Coast all the way to the First State, and you will be notified as it reaches each milestone along the route.
