Long-distance bike delivery service 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 South Carolina and California without the hassle of flying with a bike box or driving across the country.

About this route
Ship from the Tour of California's race routes to South Carolina's 22-mile Swamp Rabbit Trail and Hilton Head's island cycling. California's mountain stages and the Lowcountry's shaded paths both welcome riders year-round.
South Carolina's cycling spans from the mountain roads of the Blue Ridge Escarpment near Greenville to the flat, moss-draped trails of the Lowcountry coast. The Swamp Rabbit Trail, running 22 miles from Greenville to Travelers Rest, has become one of the Southeast's most popular multi-use paths, connecting restaurants, breweries, and parks along the Reedy River. The Paris Mountain State Park trails near Greenville offer technical mountain biking on steep, rooty terrain. On the coast, Hilton Head Island provides 60 miles of paved bike paths perfect for family rides beneath live oak canopies, while the Palmetto Trail aims to eventually connect the mountains to the sea on a single cross-state route. The annual Gran Fondo Hincapie, hosted by former pro George Hincapie near his Greenville home, draws riders from across the country to the Upstate's rolling hills.
Shipping a bike from California to South Carolina covers approximately 2,400 miles through desert, plains, and the Piedmont. Each bicycle is securely boxed with protective materials around the frame, wheels, and all sensitive components. Full coverage is included on every shipment, protecting your bike whether it is a road machine for the Hincapie Gran Fondo or a cruiser for Hilton Head's island paths. Tracking updates keep you informed from California departure through arrival in the Palmetto State.
