This route is priced from $95 per shipment. We offer a fixed price with no distance surcharges or hidden fees. Every shipment includes full coverage against damage and loss.

Our dedicated service solves both problems: purpose-built packaging, careful handling, and door-to-door convenience at a predictable price.
Whether you are chasing Cuyuna Lakes, Duluth trails or simply moving to a new city, our service connects Illinois and Minnesota without the hassle of flying with a bike box or driving across the country.

About this route
Send your bike between Illinois's Chicago Lakefront Trail and Minneapolis, America's top-ranked cycling city with over 200 miles of bike lanes. Both Midwest states champion urban cycling infrastructure, and the 45-mile Tunnel Hill and 120-mile Paul Bunyan Trail offer outstanding off-street riding.
Minneapolis and St. Paul together form one of the most bike-friendly metropolitan areas in the country, with the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway creating a 50-mile loop of connected parkways and trails through the Twin Cities' chain of lakes. The Midtown Greenway, a below-grade rail corridor converted to a protected bikeway, serves as a commuter backbone that connects neighborhoods year-round. Beyond the cities, the 120-mile Paul Bunyan Trail runs north from Brainerd to Bemidji through lake-dotted pine forest, and the Root River Trail in southeastern Minnesota winds through bluff country with limestone cliffs and trout streams. For Illinois cyclists, the riding culture in Minnesota feels familiar but amplified, with even greater public investment in separated cycling infrastructure.
Shipping between Illinois and Minnesota is a quick corridor, with most ground deliveries arriving within one to two business days along the I-90 or I-94 routes. The short distance keeps costs low and reduces handling risk. Riders shipping bikes for winter fat-tire riding in Minnesota should ensure that wide tires are properly deflated for transit and that studded tire sets are packed separately to avoid puncturing other components in the box. Summer shipments are straightforward, but booking around major events like the Lutsen 99er mountain bike race can require advance planning.
