    Travelling by bike in public transport

    Cycling is indispensable when we travel! That's why you can take your own (folding) bike on the train and even the bus! If you want to continue your journey with a shared bike, you've come to the right place.

    A fully folded folding bike is free to take on the train and bus. Regular bikes are also allowed on the train outside peak hours. In most cases, you'll need a bike ticket for this, which can be purchased from the ticket machine at the station.

    Read all about taking your bike on the train and bus and using our shared bikes here.
