Bike
Delivery Service
Getting them from seller to buyer, or relocating them between homes, creates genuine logistical challenges. At Exact Delivery, we apply our Room-to-Room delivery expertise to bike delivery, ensuring your bicycle reaches its destination safely.
Single-person bike moving creates unnecessary risks. Frames scratch against doorframes, wheels catch on obstacles, and awkward weight distribution causes control problems. Our paired crew model solves these issues through coordinated lifting and careful navigation.
Bike components need individual protection. Derailleurs bend under side pressure, brake discs warp from impact, and carbon fiber frames crack invisibly under stress. We secure each bike with wheel removal where necessary, protecting vulnerable parts with targeted padding rather than bulk wrapping that shifts during transport.
Multiple bike transport multiplies coordination needs. Handlebars interlock, pedals scratch adjacent frames, and chain oils transfer between surfaces. Our spacing techniques prevent contact damage while maximizing vehicle capacity, whether you're moving a single road bike or an entire household's cycling collection.
Cost depends on where you're collecting from and delivering to. Local same-city transport runs cheaper than cross-country journeys. Standard adult bikes travel more economically than specialized racing models or bulky cargo variants. Your bike courier service quote reflects these practical realities.
Bikes We Transport
Our bike delivery service covers bicycles found in UK homes, shops, and businesses. Different styles create distinct transport requirements.
Electric bicycles add battery packs and motor units to standard frame designs. Batteries require careful handling—impacts can damage cells, moisture causes electrical issues, and improper storage creates safety risks. Total weight reaches 25-30 kg for typical models, nearly double standard bicycle mass. Motor housings need protection from knocks and scratches during transport. Battery regulations occasionally restrict certain transport methods—we'll clarify any limitations when you book.
Long-wheelbase cargo bikes and box bikes serve family transport and small business logistics. Extended frames stretch beyond typical bicycle dimensions, sometimes exceeding 2 meters. Storage boxes or child seats increase width and weight significantly. We accommodate cargo bike transport when vehicle dimensions and property access allow, though these specialized cycles need advance discussion to confirm feasibility for your specific model and route.
Indoor exercise bikes, commonly known as spin bikes, require different handling than road cycles. Heavy flywheels, adjustable resistance systems, and electronic consoles create unique transport challenges. These stationary bikes typically weigh 40-50 kg and feature awkward weight distribution. We secure flywheels during bike courier operations and protect digital displays from impacts. Spin bikes often move between homes, gyms, or office fitness areas.

Our Bike Courier Approach
Bicycle transport needs more than available van space. Proper methods, suitable protection, and genuine expertise separate reliable bike couriers in the UK from improvised solutions.
Bikes create awkward carrying challenges. Length makes doorway navigation difficult solo. Weight distributes unevenly across the frame. Wheels rotate unexpectedly under single-handed control. Paired carrying eliminates these problems through coordinated movement and balanced load distribution.
Basic courier services leave bikes at your front door. We continue to your actual storage location—through hallways, up stairs if necessary, into garages or sheds. You avoid wrestling heavy bikes through tight spaces yourself after our crew departs.
Foam wrapping shields frames from scratches and impacts. Wheel guards prevent spoke damage and rim bending. Component ties stop brake levers and derailleurs from moving during transport. Purpose-designed materials outperform improvised newspaper and tape solutions.
Reserve your preferred collection day in advance through our online system. Three-hour windows provide arrival certainty without excessive waiting. Weekend collections accommodate work commitments. Delivery scheduling coordinates with your availability at the receiving address.
We deliver bikes across Great Britain. Local moves within your city and long-distance transport to other regions both receive the same careful handling. Route planning ensures efficient delivery regardless of journey length for shipping bikes.

Frequently asked questions
How do you prevent damage during transport?
Layered protection addresses different vulnerabilities. Foam sheets wrap frames preventing paint scratches. Wheel covers protect spokes and rims from bending. Tie-downs secure brake levers, gear systems, and other projecting components. Strategic vehicle positioning keeps weight off delicate parts throughout bike delivery journeys.
What determines pricing?
Several elements combine into final costs. Distance between pickup and delivery locations establishes base pricing. Bike value influences insurance requirements and protective measures. Access complexity adds time and effort. Provide complete details for accurate personalized quotes through our bike courier service.
Do you transport expensive racing bikes?
Yes, high-value racing bikes, custom builds, and competition models receive appropriate careful handling. Carbon fiber frames get extra foam layers. Precision components receive individual padding. Competitive cyclists and serious enthusiasts regularly trust us with premium bicycles.
What preparation should I do before collection?
Remove detachable accessories—water bottles, GPS computers, pumps, tool bags. Reduce tire pressure slightly for safer transport. Photograph current conditions for your personal records. Clear access routes from bike storage to your exit door. Mention any pre-existing damage when booking. Our crew handles all protective wrapping and technical preparation tasks.
