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

About this route
Connect California's Tour of California with Massachusetts' 25-mile Cape Cod Rail Trail and the Berkshire hills. From Pacific coastal switchbacks to Atlantic seaside paths, both states reward cyclists with ocean views and challenging terrain.
Massachusetts offers a cycling landscape that ranges from the sandy, flat Cape Cod Rail Trail to the demanding hill climbs of the Berkshire Mountains in the western part of the state. Mount Greylock, the state's highest point at 3,491 feet, provides a scenic summit road popular with hill-climb enthusiasts. The 11-mile Minuteman Bikeway connects Cambridge to Bedford along a historic Revolutionary War route, while the Norwottuck Rail Trail in the Pioneer Valley links Northampton and Amherst through farmland and university campuses. Boston's cycling infrastructure continues to expand with protected lanes and the growing Emerald Necklace path system. California riders heading east will find Massachusetts' compact geography means multiple terrain types are accessible in a single day.
Shipping between California and Massachusetts covers approximately 2,900 miles, making it one of the longer domestic routes. Every bicycle is packed in a reinforced box with frame guards, wheel dividers, and component padding to ensure safe delivery across the continent. Full coverage is included with every shipment, protecting your investment from California's coast to the cobblestoned streets of New England. Real-time tracking keeps you updated throughout the journey, from pickup on the West Coast to delivery in the Bay State.
