Each of the top and bottom walls has a generally triangular shape. The pair of side walls and the rear wall bridge the opposing top and bottom walls. The side walls and the rear wall are arranged to form a triangle. The mounting elements include a front fork mount detachably engaging the front fork of the bicycle, a wheel mount detachably engaging the detached front wheel of the bicycle, and a wheel track receiving the rear wheel of the bicycle. The shipping container securely and stably holds a bicycle while requiring minimal disassembly thereof.
