POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Chicago Bicycle Shipment Pick Up And
Delivery Service
Before
the Start of the Event • After
the End of the Event
Unfortunately
the Chicago bike shop is often closed when many of our events
start and end or transportation services depart and arrive
in Chicago.
We are based in Chicago and can pick up and/or
drop off your bicycle and reusable shipping container
(if applicable) at
the Chicago bike shop for you for an additional fee if you
will not be able to
do so yourself. In fact, if you are travelling on long
distance public transportation and register for this service
both before the start and after the end
of the
event,
you
will be able to travel with only your baggage and not
have
to
transport
your
bicycle yourself at all!

transportation carriers.
If you
have any question at all about whether you'll be able
to pick up or drop off your bicycle yourself in time at
the Chicago bike shop
due to your individual travel plans this bicycle shipment
pick up and delivery service may
be a good option for you to take advantage of.
We will only offer bicycle
shipment pick up and delivery service for our supporting bike
shop
in Chicago and
not for any other bike shop or location (such as a UPS or
FedEx shipping hub) in any other stopping town. This is because
we will not
be able
to
arrive
in any
another
stopping
town in time to pick up your bicycle before the start or
after the end of any events.
If you will be shipping your bicycle to one location before
the start of
the event and from a
different
location
after
the end of the event (such as point to point, one way
events) we will also pick up and/or drop off your own reusable
shipping container as part of this service if you
are unable to use a cardboard box as the shipping container
instead.

shipping containers.
Before the Start of the Event
We will pick up your fully assembled bicycle (and reusable
shipping container if applicable) from the Chicago
bike shop two days before the start of the event.
It is very
important that you make sure that your bicycle will
be assembled and ready to
ride by then.
If we are also transporting your bicycle as part
of our paid transportation services before the start
of the event, we will also load your bike onto our moving
truck before the event. You will
not
need
to
worry about retrieving or having it loaded at
the
transportation staging point.
After the End of the Event
We will drop
off your fully assembled bicycle (and reusable shipping
container if applicable) to be disassembled, boxed, and
shipped out from the Chicago bike
shop at least two days after the end of all events.
