It depend on what bicycle you are using. Is it proffisonal one..if yes it is difficult to find and cost more than 2000 usd. If normal you can find between 200 usd to 600 usd.

Nothing here (NO THING, Not One Single Thing)here is logically priced.

ALL retails deal with the thing on the basis of You are in Qatar. You're highly paid, you have to pay more!!!

I was chatting to someone about cycling at the weekend. Apparently i've done the right thing shipping my bikes out as buying a decent brand new here will cost 2-3 times as much as elsewhere.

Best check with companies such as Excess Baggage Company or other freight forwarders re shipping costs. Most will send a bike boxed if you take the pedals and bars off. Don't go to the airline direct, you'll get ripped off.
