Despite the distance, we handle everything: pickup at your door, secure packaging, and delivery to any address in Germany within 4-6 business days.
Long-distance bicycle transport across Europe is our specialty. Every shipment travels through our vetted carrier network, fully tracked in real time from pickup to delivery. No customs clearance is needed within the EU, so your bike moves seamlessly across borders.
buycycle is Europe's leading marketplace for pre-owned bikes, and our shipping service was built to support the cycling community. Thousands of bikes are bought, sold, and shipped across the continent every month through our platform. Whether your shipment is related to a buycycle transaction, a race, a relocation, or a holiday, our logistics network is open to everyone.
This route is priced from EUR 93 per shipment (commercial, ex-VAT). We offer a fixed price with no distance surcharges or hidden fees. Every shipment includes full coverage against damage and loss.
Flying with a bike box means airline surcharges, size restrictions, and the risk of damage in cargo holds. General couriers are not equipped for oversized sporting goods. Our dedicated service solves both problems: purpose-built packaging, careful handling, and door-to-door convenience at a predictable price.
Whether you are chasing Black Forest, Alps, Rhine Valley or simply moving house, our service connects Ireland and Germany without the hassle of flying with a bike box or driving across Europe.

About this route
Germany to Ireland connects continental cycling culture with one of Europe's most scenic coastal cycling experiences. The Wild Atlantic Way stretches over 2,500 kilometres along Ireland's western coast, offering headland rides with views of the Atlantic Ocean. German cyclists ship their bikes to Dublin and Cork to explore the Ring of Kerry and the Burren's limestone landscapes, routes where traffic is light and scenery is boundless.
Ireland's cycling scene has grown significantly in recent years, with the country investing in greenways that convert old railway lines into car-free cycling corridors. The Great Western Greenway in County Mayo and the Waterford Greenway in the southeast offer smooth, traffic-free riding that appeals to German cyclists looking for relaxed touring routes. The Wicklow Mountains south of Dublin provide steep climbing through heather-covered peaks that rival the best of the German Mittelgebirge.
Shipping a bike from Germany to Ireland involves sea freight across the English Channel and Irish Sea or direct routes via continental ports, with typical transit times of six to nine business days. Every bike is tracked throughout the journey and covered by comprehensive protection, ensuring your road bike, gravel machine, or touring rig arrives in Dublin or Cork ready to ride the moment you land.
