Long-distance bicycle transport 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.

About this route
Move your bike between Rhode Island's compact 14-mile East Bay Bike Path and South Dakota's expansive 109-mile Mickelson Trail through the Black Hills. From Block Island's 25 miles of scenic roads to Needles Highway's granite spires and Badlands National Park, your bike ships between two distinct landscapes.
Riding in Rhode Island rewards those who appreciate detail in a small space. The East Bay Bike Path follows the shoreline of Narragansett Bay through Warren and Barrington, passing salt marshes and tidal flats before ending in Bristol's waterfront. South Dakota operates at a completely different scale, where the Mickelson Trail crosses more than 100 converted railroad bridges and passes through four rock tunnels carved from Black Hills granite. Riders who venture beyond the trail find sweeping grassland highways, the eerie formations of Badlands National Park, and Custer State Park's wildlife loop, where bison herds sometimes block the road.
A shipment from Rhode Island to South Dakota spans roughly 1,800 miles across the northern United States, making secure packing essential. Every bicycle is boxed with protective padding around the fork, derailleur, and disc brake components to prevent damage during the long journey. Full coverage comes standard on each shipment, giving you confidence whether you are relocating a touring bike or a full-suspension mountain bike built for Black Hills singletrack. Tracking updates keep you informed from pickup along the coast to delivery in the Great Plains.
