Could anyone courier a bike for me from Birmingham to London?

I bought a bike from a seller just SW of Birmingham last week and then had a sudden pulomonary embolism, as a result of which I'm just out of hospital. I can't drive any distance for some weeks and am desperate to get the bike (it'll help my recovery I think!)

Before I use a commercial carrier I though I'd see if anyone here wanted a job getting it for me. I've seen requests for work here - please get in touch and we can talk rates etc.

Chiltern trains <£20 return?

I'm fairly sure there's a few Brum folks who visit London regularly - try posting in the social groups section.

Where is it exactly? might be going up there in the next few days.

It's a place called Hartlebury near junction 5 M5 - not far fom west end of M42. Train possible for me but a long journey!

Small place but at least it has a direct train service from Brum - agreed it's a bloody long journey though! I'm up this coming weekend but that's no good to you as I'm heading back to Bristol after.

Psychlist - i appreciate that you may need the bike sooner - but i am looking to drive/train it down to london next week - possibly Thursday... I'd be more than happy to go get the bike and deliver/meet you with it. I live in Digbeth, Central Brum. Like i said - i'm happy to do it, but I'm weirdly updating my Cardiac Rehabillitation Qualification all this week. We looked at embolisms - you fixed up?
Get in touch if you need to.

You could try wheelscourier.com, got my bike delivered from Scarbourgh to London for £11, and it took less than a day to arrive. They mainly do car parts but if you email them they'll deliver bicycles as well.

buy me a return train ticket and i'll do it.

my sis lives in brum haven't seen her for a while and could do with a trip up there

Thanks to all for offers of help - I think I'm sorted now.

What a lovely thread.

This place rocks.

And Hartlebury is nice place too.

I've been blown away by the offers of help I've had - this is a genuinely cool community. Am really touched so thanks to all.

First post here, I've just bought a bike off ebay from Leigh, looking to get it down to London, the courier above is Irish, does anyone know of any sites in the UK that will take a bike for me.

It just needs to be picked up and delivered without packing?

Thanks for any help

PM dicki, he seems to love galavanting around collecting stuff.

dicki's collection service has now gone into administration ! the tax man caught up with me and i had to move to monaco !!

anyone know of any real courier companies that will take a bike? unpackaged?

anyone?
