Long-distance bicycle logistics 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 $95 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
Ship from Iowa's rolling farmland and RAGBRAI festivities to South Dakota's 109-mile Mickelson Trail through the Black Hills. Neighboring Great Plains states that share wide horizons, these two connect Iowa's legendary gravel roads with the Badlands' rugged terrain and pine-forested singletrack.
Iowa and South Dakota sit side by side on the Great Plains, and their cycling scenes complement each other naturally. Iowa's eastern gravel roads through Dubuque and Jones counties follow Mississippi River bluffs with genuine climbing, while South Dakota's Black Hills deliver the state's most dramatic riding: the Mickelson Trail's converted railroad grade passes through four tunnels and over more than 100 converted bridges as it winds from Deadwood to Edgemont. The Badlands' gravel roads offer stark, exposed riding through eroded buttes, and the Iron Mountain Road's pigtail bridges and narrow tunnels near Mount Rushmore make for an unforgettable road ride. These neighboring states together offer everything from gentle prairie miles to serious mountain terrain.
Because Iowa and South Dakota share a border, shipping times are among the shortest in the network. Each bicycle is carefully boxed to protect brake lines, derailleur hangers, and frame finishes. Full coverage comes with every shipment, whether you are sending a mountain bike for the Black Hills or a gravel bike for Iowa's farm roads. Real-time tracking follows your bicycle from one Great Plains state to the other.
