Calais to Amsterdam

Post by miney77 »

Hi everyone. I'm cycling from Calais to Amsterdam in early July along the bike paths but picking up a long term rental hopefully somewhere in Amsterdam first. Does anyone know if it will be okay to take my bike from Amsterdam to Calais on the train first hassle free?

Thanks in advance guys. Any other tips for this newbie would be welcome :D

It depends what trains you want to travel on.
For some high speed trains you may need to pack the bike into a box or bag 120 x 90 x 30 cm if my memory serves i.e it is baggage which gets around not having bike spaces
There are local trains which have bike spaces - the rules vary - if you can get to Lille there are ter trains from Lille Flanders to Calais which allow bikes.
