The short answer
A bike can travel fully assembled on a dedicated door-to-door run. PORTR carries bikes in a van with blankets and straps, priced online from the route and the access, and delivers them straight to the destination address.
How does a dedicated bike courier run work?
A dedicated run collects the bike from your address and drives it to the destination in the same van, so it can travel assembled and protected.
Because the journey is priced as a journey rather than by weight band, you see the full cost online before booking, and heavier or multiple bikes simply size the vehicle accordingly.
How should you prepare a bike for collection?
Strip the accessories: lights, computer, pump, bottles, saddlebag and anything else that can detach in transit. These are the items that go missing, not the bike.
Secure the chain, and if the bike is travelling with other items, remove the pedals so nothing catches. Consider a light wrap around the frame at the points where straps will sit, particularly on a carbon frame.
How is bike delivery priced?
From the vehicle needed, the real driving distance, the handling time and the access at both ends. A single bike over a short distance sits at or near the minimum booking value.
Choose a customer-selected collection date and the delivery timing that suit your plans. The quote shows the available options and price before you book.
