HOW IT WORKS

We will process your order within 1-2 business days.

We'll email your round-trip shipping labels to you by Tuesday, July 1, 2025, and we’ll schedule a pickup for your packed bike from the shipping address you input upon ordering. Your pickup will be scheduled for Tuesday, July 8, 2024. Please have your bike packed, labeled and ready for pickup on this date.

If you would like to hire a pro to pack your bike before you ship it to RAGBRAI, check out our Bike Shop Finder to find a shop near you.

Once your bike arrives in Iowa, it will be well taken care of by Pork Belly Ventures. They’ll receive your bike and make sure it gets to the start, where you can retrieve it on Saturday, July 19, 2025. If you also purchase an assembly service, they’ll assemble your bike. As part of this premium service, Pork Belly Ventures will transport your box or case from the start to the finish. After the event, Pork Belly Ventures will disassemble and pack your bike (if you’ve purchased this option), and once packed, they’ll get your bike back on its way home to you via Bikeflights as long as it's received by Saturday, July 26, 2025 at 5:00 pm (local) Central Time.

OTHER NOTES

If you are taking care of all of your own RAGBRAI logistics (such as receiving your bike prior to the start, assembling and packing it, transporting your case from start to finish, and getting your bike back underway afterward), you may book your own shipping-only services through our RAGBRAI Shipping Guide.
