    Anyone know how I get a bicycle collected in Limerick and dropped to a house near Kinvara in Co Clare? I cant seem to find a courier that will collect.

    Kinvara is in Co Galway!!! ;)

    I’d imagine Fastway would do it. You may need to have it collected in an urban area though.?

    Google maps tells me it's only a 3 and a half hour cycle up via Sixmilebridge and Quin. Would be a scenic enough cycle to do if you'd a free morning to ever do it.

    Otherwise, what we used to do years and years ago was buy a ticket for the bike and put it in the hold of the bus (if we needed one brought to Kilkee for example) - not sure this service is still available though, and we were only ever sending old wrecks (in retrospect) so you mightn't fancy it if it's a particularly valuable bike. Otherwise put it on the train and collect it in Ardrahan. Train strikes me as safer since it has less stops but again, years and years since I used this method.

    You dodged a bullet there. Chance are half the bike would be left in a ditch 2 miles from its intended drop off location. * slight exaggeration :)

    Use the post office, warp it up in cling film and there will be no issue.


    I have posted many bikes, about €35 registered abd insured.
