Bike Shifting in Bommasandra
A lot of people in Bommasandra work the industrial estate on their doorstep, and that means shifts. Nights one week, days the next, sometimes a rotation that changes at short notice. Being up and alert at seven in the morning for a bike pickup isn't always possible, and a partner on the day shift can't always take leave to cover it.

InstantWhere are you moving?
Costs you nothing and there's no salesperson at the end of it.
The bike can still move. What has to be thought through is the key. Who holds it, who hands it to the crew, and where the spare goes so it doesn't end up lost or travelling with the bike.
One key to the crew, the spare with you
The crew needs one key, the one that turns the ignition and unlocks the steering. They'll use it to wheel or ride the bike to the carrier, and it travels with the bike so it can be moved again at the other end.
The spare stays with you. Not in the under-seat storage, not taped to the frame, not in the same envelope as the main key. If the main key is lost anywhere along the way, the spare is what saves you a locksmith's visit or a new lock set.
Take the bike key off your bunch before handing it over. A ring with your house keys, a locker key from work and a gate remote has no business going on a carrier.
If the bike has only ever had one key, because the spare went missing years ago, tell us at booking. Plenty of second-hand bikes come that way. It changes nothing about the move, but you might want to get a copy cut at a key shop before the bike leaves.
Handing over when you're asleep or at work
There are a few ways to do it. A family member or flatmate can be there with the key and the papers. A neighbour you trust can do it. In a gated project, security can sometimes hand it over if you've left the key and a signed note with them, though check that your society allows it first.
Whoever does it should stand with the crew while the bike is photographed before wrapping, and ask for the photos to be sent to your phone. You'll see them when you wake up.
Leave a short note signed by you, naming the person handing over, the bike's registration number and where it's going. Put it in an envelope with a photocopy of the RC and your ID, and hand that over with the key.
If you'd rather be there yourself, tell us your roster. A pickup straight after a night shift ends, before you sleep, or in the afternoon of a day off can usually be fitted in, and where your society allows it a later start is fine.
Collection from Bommasandra's layouts
Most homes here are newer apartments, builder floors and independent houses in the layouts around the estate. In gated projects the bike comes up from the basement to the gate. In layouts where the approach road is still unfinished, the carrier waits on firm ground and the bike is wheeled out.
Bommasandra is a real distance from the main city, with fewer crews out this way. Book a few days ahead if you can, and earlier still for a weekend or month end.
Factory shift changes put a burst of traffic on the local roads at certain hours, buses and bikes pouring out of the estate gates together. If you know when yours are, mention them, and we'll avoid them.
Scooty shifting and the scooter's key
Scooters have a habit of being down to one working key, the spare having vanished into a kitchen drawer years ago. If that's yours, think about getting one cut at a key shop before the scooter leaves Bommasandra. It's a small job, and a scooter that arrives with its only key missing is a much bigger one.
Some scooters use a separate key, or a button, for the seat. Make sure the storage is empty and the seat shuts and locks properly before handover, because a seat that won't latch can't be wrapped tightly.
On the carrier, a scooter gets what any bike gets. Its pictures are taken, the handlebar and mirrors are cushioned, it's wrapped up and strapped so it can't lean. It weighs less, so the price is generally a touch lower.
Bike and two wheeler transport from Bommasandra
Southern trips are easy from here. The carrier is on the Hosur Road and NH corridor straight away for Hosur, Krishnagiri, Salem and on to Chennai, without crossing the city. Hyderabad and Kerala both see frequent loads. A small place a long way off the highway is slower to arrange, and we'll be straight with you about that at the quote.
Into Electronic City or the main city, the morning crawl towards Electronic City is the thing to avoid, so early pickups are best. For a night-shift worker that can actually suit, since the crew arrives just as you get home.
The tank is drained before loading, so ride it low in the last week. The key travels with the bike in the crew's care, the envelope with your photocopied RC, ID and signed note travels with it, and the spare stays in your pocket. You'll get a price in writing after a free survey, GST included. If a household is moving too, the Bommasandra packers page has the details.
At the other end, whoever receives the bike gets the key along with it. If that's you, keep the spare and the main key on separate rings for a while, until you've had a copy made for the new place.

Bike and Scooty Shifting in Bommasandra, answered
The destination drives most of it. You get a firm written figure with GST after a free survey.
Yes. A family member, flatmate or neighbour with the key, the papers and your signed note.
No. Keep the spare yourself so you have one if anything happens to the main key.
Not for the move. You may want a copy cut before it travels, just in case.
Sometimes, if your society allows it and you've left the key with a signed note.
Yes. Check the scooter's spare key first, it's often the one that's missing. Scooters generally cost a little less than motorcycles.
Usually, yes. Tell us your roster when you book.
Very. The carrier is on the highway south straight away, with no city to cross.
A few days if you can, more for weekends. Crews are thinner on the ground this far past Electronic City.
It travels with the bike and is handed to whoever receives it.
They're sent to your phone, so you can look at them after your shift.
No. Keep it on you, never under the seat or taped to the frame, where it would travel with the main one.
