Classic Bike Shipping: Safety, Protection and Easy Assembly

At Biciclasica.com, we know that a bicycle is not just any product. It is a piece of engineering, design and emotion. That is why we have developed a professional packaging protocol that guarantees that each bicycle arrives in perfect structural, aesthetic and mechanical condition, ready for quick and safe assembly.

Our logistics are optimised for both domestic and international shipping, ensuring traceability, protection and regulatory compliance for every shipment.


🚲 How we ship our bicycles

1️⃣ Technical preparation prior to shipment

Before packaging, each bicycle undergoes:

  • Complete mechanical adjustment and verification.

  • Inspection of brakes, transmission, and steering.

  • Alignment check and tightening with the correct torque.

  • Protection of sensitive areas (frame, fork, dropouts and gears).

We do not ship bicycles "from stock": we ship bicycles that have been checked by professionals.


2️⃣ Professional multi-layer packaging

Our packaging is designed to absorb impacts and prevent deformation:

  • High-strength reinforced box.

  • Interior protection with structural dividers.

  • Foam and protection for the frame and delicate components.

  • Internal fastening to prevent movement during transport.

  • Special protection for derailleurs and axles.

This system minimises stress on the frame and prevents damage to paintwork or components during logistics transit.


3️⃣ Easy assembly at home

To facilitate transport, we ship the bicycle partially disassembled (depending on the model):

  • Handlebars turned or removed.

  • Pedals not installed.

  • Front wheel removed (if necessary).

Assembly is simple and does not require advanced technical knowledge. In just a few steps, the bicycle is fully operational.

If the customer prefers, they can take it to a local workshop for a final check-up.


📦 General shipping conditions

🔁 How to return a bicycle

We understand that online shopping requires trust. That's why we provide a clear and structured return procedure.

Returns must comply with the following:

  • Request within the established legal period.

  • Unused bicycle in perfect condition.

  • Original packaging must be retained.

  • Adequate protection for return transport.

✈️ How to prepare your bicycle for travel or holidays

Many customers ask us how to ship their bicycle to another temporary destination (holidays, moving house, cycling events, etc.).

For safe transport, we recommend:

  1. Clean the bicycle before packing it.

  2. Remove the pedals.

  3. Turn or remove the handlebars.

  4. Remove the front wheel.

  5. Protect the rear derailleur.

  6. Use spacers between dropouts.

  7. Protect the frame with foam or cardboard.

  8. Secure the parts to prevent internal movement.

Poor preparation can cause structural damage to the frame or transmission.
