Shipping

Shipping of bikes is free to 97% of residences, however some remote postcodes incur a surcharge. Please click here for a list postcodes and surcharges

Once your order is placed we require one business day before the bike can be shipped. For estimated shipping times, click here

We do require a signature upon delivery, for this reason we recommend business addresses or where someone will be present on the day of delivery. You can leave special instructions (eg leave on porch) however you will need to assume all responsibility without a signature. 

We cannot ship to PO Boxes. For full shipping details click here.

14 Day Test Ride

We’re so confident that you’ll love our extensive range of bikes, that we’ll let you ride one as your own for a full 14 days and if you don’t like it, simply e-mail us at sales@bicyclesonline.com.au and we’ll pick it up from you, free of charge! Just make sure you keep the box so it can be re-used to send it back. Click here for more information. 

Free Pro Build valued at $99

All of our bicycles come with a Free Pro Build valued at $99. This means that your bicycle will be pre built by our professional mechanics here in our Australian warehouse. For your convenience, safety and comfort all our bikes are fully assembled and test ridden prior to delivery. The bike is then packaged back into a box for secure shipment.

 

When your bike arrives, all you have to attach is the front wheel, handlebar and pedals, everything else has been done – the headset has been adjusted, wheels trued, pedals and seat post greased, brakes and gears calibrated, even the tyres have been pumped up to the correct pressure.

Most companies simply sell you the bike as it comes from the factory, which will require significant know-how to get your bike on the road. Currently we are the only Australian company providing this service, and have the 14 day test ride to back it up.

  1. really great bike for the price

    Posted by Edd on 22nd Apr 2013

    Only had this a few weeks so not much to say. I have two other bikes, one is a high end ($6.5K) carbon Giant, so comparing it to this is quite unfair. That said, it being a city commuter, I would have like the handle bars to be narrower, and the gear changers moved towards the centre a bit and better grips. I sorted this out, by cutting the bars down 80mm (40mm each side) putting on ergo grips and moving the shifters in from the brake by 17mm. It still needs a longer stem as the front end feels a bit odd compared to other bikes, I may just adapt - It really is a four and half stars but that wasn't an option on this page.
