How to send your bicycle to CLARENS near Lesotho

Off the Clarens for a cycling trip?

Then let’s send your bicycle there. Easy peasy. Just like so. In this example BRAM sends a rental bike or two or three from Stellenbosch to Clarens. Ie from the Western Cape to very near Lesotho. And I have fond memories of Clarens during the winter. Snowed in, and cozy fireplaces, and friends, and 30 seconds. And many drinks to keep us warm. Or so we think. Either way, I haven’t been there in ages. And now it is time to deliver boxed rental bikes for bicyclerentals.co to Clarens, FS, Free State, South Africa.

Welcome to mythical Clarens

Is Clarens in the Free State? Yes, Clarens is a small town located in the Free State province of South Africa. It is situated in the Eastern Free State region and is known for its sandstone mountains and art galleries. Think of Madam and Ewe. And more. Clarens is in the Thabo Mofutsanyana region of the Free State. It is often called the “jewel of the Free State”. And The town was founded in 1912 and is near the Golden Gate Highlands National Park.

This is how to send your bicycle

We send boxed bicycles to and from any place in South Africa. In this case from an estate in the Western Cape to a bike/adventure shop in Clarens. Yes the bicycles have to be boxed, yes you can pack it yourself and we can collect door to door. OR you can just drop it off at the nearest bike shop. For them to pack. On your behalf. And then we collect directly from said bike shop when ready. And transport and deliver it to your chosen destination. Just like this.

And what about the timeframe

Avg transit time between main centers is CPT JHB etc is 3 days. We collect every weekday. And same for deliveries. While remote areas might take a little longer. Case in point, Clarens is rather remote. Almost on the Lesotho border. Roughly half-way between JHB and DBN. But completely inland. With closest city being BFN Bloemfontein. And that is the depot we will likely use for the final delivery. Also keep in mind with these small outlying towns they might not be serviced every day. And with the pending December holidays we have to check the desired arrival date and work our way back from there.

We think about all the little details so that you don’t have to!

Clarens or elsewhere, where can we send your bicycle to next?
