The lowest budget (free) option for a bike carton is visiting your local bike shop and picking up a carton box from a bike sale they’ve just made. Most bike shops just throw out the cardboard cartons and are happy for you to reduce their trash.

Bike Shipping
Luggage Free is providing you the option to send your bike ahead to your hotel, to Unlimited Biking, or to one of GFNY’s partner bike shops. Be sure to confirm and book the assembly and packing service with Unlimited Biking or the bike shop prior to shipping your bike - many bike shops are very busy during GFNY race week. You can also ship your luggage ahead. Book your luggage and bike shipping here: luggagefree.com/partners/gfny
Note that we do not recommend shipping your bike internationally. When shipping the bike internationally, you run the risk of the bike getting stuck in customs and potentially not arriving to the race in time. Instead, we recommend flying with your bike.

Unlimited Biking also offers Bike Concierge service. UB’s expert team will assemble and tune up your bike, so all you have to do is show up and race.
