In the world of mobility, bicycles are playing an increasingly important role. They are a way to travel, explore new destinations and enjoy sport, but they are also a product that is increasingly bought, sold and transported over long distances.
It was from this awareness that Ship To Cycle, the brand created by SEL, was born, offering a dedicated bicycle shipping service across Italy, Europe and the rest of the world.
The project was launched in September 2020, at a time when the way people lived and used bicycles was changing rapidly. From the very beginning, the goal was simple: to provide people with a solution that would allow them to travel with their own bicycle without having to deal directly with the complexities of transportation.
Over time, however, Ship To Cycle has grown and evolved, following the needs of an increasingly diverse and dynamic market.
From individual mobility to business logistics
Today, Ship To Cycle serves two worlds that, despite having different requirements, share the same fundamental need: to move bicycles simply, safely and efficiently.
On one side are private customers, athletes, cycling tourists and anyone who needs to reach a destination with their bicycle. On the other are businesses managing increasingly significant shipping volumes and flows.
E-commerce businesses, marketplaces, bicycle shops, tour operators, bike hotels and other companies operating in the sector can have very different requirements from those of an individual customer: recurring shipments, seasonal peaks, multiple-bike shipments, and domestic and international deliveries.
This is why Ship To Cycle is not simply a shipping service, but a logistics solution capable of adapting to the different needs of businesses and professionals operating in the cycling industry.
An international service with a practical approach
The growth of the brand has progressively expanded Ship To Cycle’s reach, and today the service operates across Italy, Europe and key markets outside Europe.
Behind every shipment lies the same level of attention: managing the transportation of the bicycle from the point of origin to its final destination, coordinating the necessary activities so that customers can rely on the service without having to manage the logistics themselves.
A philosophy that applies equally to someone shipping a single bicycle and to a company managing large shipping volumes.
Evolving without losing its identity
Over the years, Ship To Cycle has evolved. Customer needs have changed, services have expanded, markets have developed and new opportunities have emerged around bicycle mobility and commerce.
The brand has evolved with them, broadening its offering and increasingly addressing the needs of the B2B market.
But one element has never changed: its core mission.
Ship To Cycle was created to manage bicycle mobility and continues to do so by putting the needs of those who have to move a bicycle at the centre of its service. Whether it is an individual travelling for a cycling holiday, a cyclist heading to a competition, a bike shop delivering a bicycle sold to a customer outside its region, or a company managing hundreds of shipments.
This ability to combine individual mobility with professional logistics is one of the distinctive elements of the project today.
Bicycles are changing. Logistics needs to keep up.
A bicycle is no longer simply a means of transportation. It represents sport, tourism, mobility, experiences, commerce and business.
As a result, its logistics needs to evolve as well.
Ship To Cycle was born in 2020 to address a specific need and continues to develop around the same idea: making it easier to move a bicycle, wherever it needs to go.
Because when it comes to bicycles, destinations can change. Requirements can change. Volumes can change.
But one thing remains the same: Ship To Cycle takes care of the bike logistics.
