daveinlim Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I think I've sourced a new bike but will need it delivered. It's 300 miles / 5 hour each way. That's a bit longer than what I would like to do on day one with the bike. Can anyone recommend me someone that would deliver it for me. Online quote from anyvan is coming in about 270. Any recommendations that might do it cheaper and still do it safely. I know it's a long way so probably won't get much better than that.

Gerontious Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 If you don't want to ride 300 miles in one go on a new bike, split it and stay at a hotel overnight. Premier inn or Travelodge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Wheres the bike? Newcastle/sunderland area? I would get @Bender to deliver it he does nothing all day............ Personally I would be tempted to go have a look at the bike before you buy it and also ride it and ride it home too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie man Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Not as good as a van, but you can hire bike trailers cheaply. If you have a towbar that is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I recently had a bike delivered by the Bike Bus. Took the dealership it was coming from a while to get things arranged but it was delivered safe and sound, Scotland to Hampshire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinlim Posted March 2, 2023 Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) Sorted now, found someone to transport it for a good price. Update. FYI The cheapest quotes I got was through Shiply.com a comparison site. Edited March 2, 2023 by daveinlim 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
