In bike spaces or packed in a Transbag
Many international long-distance trains and most regional trains in Europe offer dedicated bike racks where bikes can be conveniently parked for the journey. The bike can be hung up and locked on the bike hooks during the journey, while you can enjoy your journey in your compartment or in the bistro.
Bicycle spaces are rare, especially in summer, so it’s worth booking early. If you have booked through us, the bike spaces are also reserved. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about your bike not being allowed on the train.
On trains without bike spaces, bikes can be transported in special bike bags (Transbags).
