Plus almost 3 dozen since the last bicycle couriers update.
Nicely done! 33 new blog entries since our prior Q1 bicycle couriers update. Which means we have been busy. In this case more so on the computer than on the bicycle. But winter is upon us. And the volumes of bicycles being sent are lower. So, we have more time to cycle ourselves. Pure bliss. Where are we riding next?
Long rides, cycling events and bike travel
Whether you are cycling the 1200km Audax (complete or not). Or cycling 1500km offroad from JHB to CPT like Hilde. Or doing the 20-years CA2CX from CPT to Knysna. Then there are also the 3 magical rides by names of the OWL and the CAPE and the KAROO to keep you busy during these following months. And beyond. Because a rolling stone gathers no moss. And muss less so a bicycle couriers update for the winter. Go and get them.

Focus on Motorbike transport
Motorbike transport got some of our focus as of late and after these articles below and others on our site we get increasingly more traffic and quote requests for sending motorbikes. MBK? YES we do. Especially on the main routes, just like bicycles. But unlike bicycles, it is a tad more costly to go to outlying and remote areas for motorbike collections. So see if you can make it fit with the ROUTES and PRICE for sending motorbikes in South Africa as below. Shall we say bicycle couriers update or motorbike courier update?
- ROUTES: Sending a MOTORBIKE across SA
- Motorbike transport expanding with NEW ROUTES in South Africa
- PRICE LIST: for motorbike transport in SA
LBS: your friendly local bike shop
Local bike shops are part and parcel of our service delivery and we love sending customers to bike shops. As much as we believe you like visiting them. Because what is better than walking inbetween isles of new bikes and gear and kit and likeminded people? Well, cycling itself! In this part of the bicycle couriers update we cover the range of stores from SOLOMONS and CAJEES, and look at SINGLETRACK, our own depots, open hours and more. Go explore!

Bicycle courier cost comparisons
Ending off this bicycle couriers update is a potential new series on cost comparisons. Where we look at what it costs to send your bicycle with different service providers. And right here we start with 3 obvious ones: TCG the courier guy, DSV road logistics, and MCSA our new my courier company. Spoiler alert: all of them are R1000+ per shipment in our examples, compared to bicycle couriers starting from just 699 for the same thing, if not quicker. Let’s go!
