But how does it work?
Before boarding, cyclists will entrust their bikes to an agent who will take them to the TER's dedicated bike zone.
Each train equipped in this way can accommodate up to 25 additional bicycles; the bicycle zones are identified by stickers affixed to the carriage.
✔️ This service costs €3, and booking is compulsory on the TER Nouvelle-Aquitaine website.
🏷️ Bicycles must be labelled to identify the passenger and their bicycle
❌ Tandems, recumbent bicycles and trailers are not permitted on board.
