Our most ambitious bicycle couriers project to date: the Wikipedia for bicycle transport
In our previous post we told you about our most ambitious bicycle couriers project to date. Well, here it is. The Wikipedia for bicycle transport. Everything you ever wanted to know about transporting your bicycle. Which stamps down #bicyclecouriers as the authority for bicycle transport in South Africa.
It took one south African long weekend and a lot of typing to compile all of the above. You are looking at almost 20k words in total. And none of it comes from AI. All of this is based on our real-life experience in transporting bicycles across the country and the world over the last decade. 10 years of experience distilled into 200 questions and answers. We cover the following topics. With approximate number of questions per category shown in brackets.
Contents
- π΄ββοΈ Getting Started (15)
- π³ Pricing & Booking (25)
- π¦ Packing Your Bike (45)
- π Collection & Delivery (25)
- π Tracking (10)
- π‘ Insurance & Safety (15)
- π Buying & Selling Bikes (25)
- β Race & Event Transport (20)
- π² Bike Types (20)
- π Destinations (10)
- π Company & Trust (10)
How do we neatly present this wealth of information?
Now 20,000 words is waaaay to much for a single blog post or page. Hence the grouping. And separate permanent pages on the bicycle couriers website. At first, I thought of calling it the bicycle couriers knowledge base. But help centre sounds much more practical. So here it is. The bicycle couriers help center. For the first time ever, someone has thought of compiling a Wikipedia for bicycle transport. Another first for bicycle couriers. Whatβs next? Hang on. We are already working on our next big ideaβ¦
Right here!
Visit the bicycle transport help centre and see for yourself.

This really was an ambitious project – the equivalent of writing 50x SEO-friendly blog posts over a long weekend…
