You'd like to travel by rail, but don’t want to do without your bicycle? No problem. Deutsche Bahn will take it for you. This service is available on many long-distance trains and on most of our local trains. Not even on the night train do you have to go without your bike. You can reserve bicycle space on most night train lines. You will also need to reserve a space for your bicycle on long-distance trains.

Trains offering the Bahn&Bike service are identified on arrival and departure schedules, in printed timetables and train schedules available on CD-ROM. This information is also available, of course, on Deutsche Bahn's website. Travel Service staff will be glad to help you find train connections that offer the Bahn&Bike service. Deutsche Bahn has its own hotline for those interested in this service:

01805-151415 (EUR 0.14/min, within in Germany only).

How much does all this cost? For just EUR 8 one way you can take your bike on long-distance trains. BahnCard holders receive a discount on their bike tickets, so that they only have to pay EUR 6 one way for the Bahn&Bike service. And for only EUR 3, you can take your bike on local trains. Please note that prices in some transport associations may differ from DB prices.

By the way: you can actually let your bike travel all by itself. The “KurierGepäck” courier service will deliver your bicycle to the destination of your choice within two to three working days. For further information, please call: 01805-4848 (EUR 0.12/min, in Germany only).
