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

About this route
From the Pacific Coast Highway to Maryland's 184-mile C&O Canal towpath, one of the East Coast's greatest long-distance rides. Ship your bike between California's sun-soaked climbs and Maryland's riverside heritage trail.
Maryland's cycling highlight is the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal towpath, a 184-mile crushed-stone trail that follows the Potomac River from Washington, DC, to Cumberland, passing through historic canal locks, Civil War battlefields, and the narrow gorge at Paw Paw Tunnel. Combined with the Great Allegheny Passage, the route extends over 330 miles to Pittsburgh, forming one of the premier long-distance bike paths in the country. Beyond the towpath, Maryland's roads through the Catoctin Mountains near Frederick offer steep, rewarding climbs, and the cycling-friendly Eastern Shore provides flat century rides through tidewater farmland. Annapolis and Baltimore both maintain growing networks of urban cycling paths that connect waterfront areas with surrounding neighborhoods.
A shipment from California to Maryland covers roughly 2,700 miles across diverse terrain. Each bicycle is boxed securely with padding around the frame, wheels, handlebars, and drivetrain to protect against the demands of a cross-country journey. Full coverage comes standard, giving you peace of mind whether you are sending a touring bike for the C&O towpath or a carbon road bike for Catoctin Mountain climbs. Tracking updates are provided at each stage of transit so you know exactly when your bike will arrive in Maryland.
