SHIPPING YOUR BIKE MADE EASY
Adventure Cycling Association is continually striving to find better ways to bring your bike along for the ride. Here are some of options, including price comparisons for traveling with your bike when you become a member of Adventure Cycling.
Ship Your Bike Via Sports Express
Members of Adventure Cycling save $10 on shipping their equipment through Sports Express, a sports equipment delivery service that specializes in overnight, 2nd and 3rd day delivery. Sports Express uses UPS and Fed Ex services but they pick up your bike, insure it, track its delivery, and even guarantee that your package will arrive on time. They work with you to ensure that your bike is delivered when you need it and at the best rate. Sports Express will arrange to pick your bike up at home or at a bike shop. Book online for this $10 savings at www.sportsexpress.com. Simply type in the promotion code "ADVCYC" toward
the end of the order process to receive the discount.
UPS or FedEx
Shipping ground service using UPS or Federal Express is still the least expensive bike-shipping method. You must drop off your bike or arrange for a pickup. If using a service such as Mailboxes Etc., additional fees may apply.

UPS ground $109.06 (1-5 days)
