How to arrange bike shipping

Bikes are usually transported during removals or vacations. Quite often people need to transport bike far away to have bike adventures in unknown environment. No matter the cause or distance of the shipping, there are a few steps that make the shipping easier. The simplest mean to achieve that is hiring a professional hauler that will take a special care of your costly load. You will find thousands of shipping companies on Clicktrans.com – online marketplace for transport services. You just need to list your load and add every important information about the delivery such as: distance, dates or size of the load. Listing is at no cost and extremely quick.

A transport provider hired by you will take your load when you expect that and deliver the bicycle across Europe. You just must be sure that your bicycle is prepared for the transportation. If you don’t want to have this on your mind – you can as well ask a transport provider to do this for you.

Preparing a bike for transportation with a hauler

If you want to transport a used bike, you have to get it ready for the delivery. Of course, it is possible to do it by yourself, yet you should organise it with care. Well-prepared cargo guarantees that your bike will be out of danger during shipping. Let’s not forget that there are lots of vibrations during transportation that might affect your bike. Mostly if you ship a bike at long distance.

Firstly, search for a cardboard that is of a similar size to your bike. The ultimate way is to put to use the original packaging given by the bike producer. If you lost or got rid of that box, you may quickly purchase a new cardboard at hardware shops or online.

Previous to putting a bicycle in a cardboard, separate all the moving parts that may be quickly damaged during transportation. Disassemble parts such as: chain, lamps or belt. Handlebar should be positioned in parallel with the frame. Also, it’s crucial to adjust the saddle down. All disassembled parts put carefully in another small boxes. Don’t lose any part! Wrap handlebar and saddle with bubble foil or simply with a textile found at home – the second method is without a doubt more eco-friendly.

When you put the bicycle in a cardboard use fillers for extra safety. Stuff like waste-paper, textiles or styrofoam are usually great fillers. Fillers will make sure that bike will stay motionless on the road. Close the box using a strong strip to make sure that your load will stay where is supposed to.

Transporting a bike in a car

When you have a vehicle, there is an opportunity to transport a bike on your own. Although, it is not an easy job, it could be done. However it is more convenient to hire a hauler, mainly when you are shipping freight at long distance.

The trunk of a car is one of the places where you could transport a bike. For sure, it is possible when you possess a mid-size or big vehicle. Sadly, you have to dissemble all parts of a bike to put them with safety in the boot. A second flaw of that solution is that your load will probably take up all the space in the boot which is not convenient in case you go on a trip and must take other baggage.
