Long-distance bike shipping 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 $109 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 Louisiana and California without the hassle of flying with a bike box or driving across the country.

About this route
Ship from California's 600-mile PCH to Louisiana's 31-mile Tammany Trace and laid-back Cajun bayou cycling. West Coast mountain stages and Southern flatland cruising both have passionate communities worth riding with.
Louisiana's cycling culture is intertwined with its food, music, and outdoor heritage. The Tammany Trace, a 31-mile rail-trail on the North Shore of Lake Pontchartrain, winds through Abita Springs and Covington beneath towering pines and live oaks draped in Spanish moss. In New Orleans, the Lafitte Greenway and Esplanade Avenue bike lanes connect neighborhoods and lead riders to City Park and the shores of Lake Pontchartrain. South of the city, the Bayou Country cycling routes near Houma and Thibodaux offer flat, scenic rides along levees and through wetlands where herons and alligators share the landscape. California riders will find Louisiana's cycling pace relaxed and social, with post-ride gatherings often centered on boudin, crawfish, and live Zydeco.
A shipment from California to Louisiana spans roughly 1,800 to 2,000 miles across the desert Southwest and Gulf states. Each bicycle is packed carefully with protective padding around the frame, fork, and all sensitive components to handle the journey through varied climates, including Louisiana's humidity. Full coverage is standard on every shipment, so your bike is protected whether it is a lightweight road machine or a fat-tired cruiser. Tracking updates keep you informed from California departure through arrival in the Pelican State.
