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 San Juan Islands, Olympic Peninsula or simply moving to a new city, our service connects Washington and District of Columbia without the hassle of flying with a bike box or driving across the country.

About this route
DC and Washington rank among America's strongest cycling cities on opposite coasts. Ship your bike between the Capital Crescent Trail and monument loops and Seattle's 27-mile Burke-Gilman Trail, the San Juan Islands' car-light roads, and Hurricane Ridge's 5,200-foot Olympic climb.
Washington State's cycling culture is anchored by Seattle but extends into dramatically varied terrain across the state. The Burke-Gilman Trail connects Seattle's neighborhoods to the wine country of Woodinville, while the San Juan Islands offer ferry-accessible cycling on quiet roads past orca whale watching points and lavender farms. On the Olympic Peninsula, Hurricane Ridge provides one of the West Coast's most dramatic climbs, gaining over a mile of elevation from sea level. Eastern Washington's Palouse region delivers rolling wheat country gravel riding, and the North Cascades Highway is a seasonal road cycling route through alpine wilderness rivaling any in the lower 48.
Shipping between DC and Washington State covers the full width of the country, making it one of the longer domestic bike shipping routes. Freight follows I-90 or I-80 through the northern tier, with transit times typically requiring a week or more of advance planning. buycycle provides full coverage for your bike throughout the cross-country journey, ensuring it arrives in Seattle or beyond ready for Pacific Northwest riding, from urban commuting to alpine climbing.
