On your bike.. in the train
A FINE PAIR: THE CONVENIENCE OF THE TRAIN PLUS THE FUN OF CYCLING


On your bike.. in the train
The speed and technology of train does not stop Trenitalia from offering customers the chance to take their bicycles with them to best enjoy their chosen itinerary. With your bicycle with you, you can board all the direct, regional and inter-regional trains bearing the bicycle symbol.
On the Suburban, Regional, Direct and Inter-regional, trains, marked in the timetables with a dedicated pictogram, travellers can choose to take their bicycle with a ticket at the full 2nd class fare, valid for the same section, as an alternative to the usual supplement "bici in segito" ("travelling with your bicycle"), which is valid 24 hours from stamping and which can be bought from the authorized ticket desks for a cost of 3.5 euro.
So, if the journey is short, the ticket costs less than 3.5 euro and if you do not expect to re-use the "travelling with your bicycle" service within 24 hours afterwards, the Saving is guaranteed.
Also, access to the service becomes more simple, in that, unlike the supplement, tickets can be bought also from the self-service ticket machines. Tickets at the full 2nd class fare for transporting bicycles must be stamped before boarding and have the same validity as single-fare ones.
It nevertheless remains confirmed that customers can choose the supplement of 3.5 euro with validity of 24 hours from stamping, which allows travel on multiple routes during the validity period.

On some Intercity , Eurocity and EuroNight Trains (they too being marked with a dedicated pictogram), the transport is provided by paying a supplement of 5 euro .The transport of bicycles service on international routes takes place by paying a full-price ticket including 10 euro for the "bicycle on board".
The supplement is non-refundable.
Also, on all trains operating in Italy, free bicycle transport is allowed when they are in appropriate bags - except for Eurostar , TBiz and TrenOk services, in which they are allowed provided they are placed in the carriage vestibules. If there are no places available, the bicycles can be placed elsewhere provided they do not block the way or cause problems to other passengers or the on-board personnel.
In any case, the bags travel at customers' risk. In the case of theft, the insurance policy for luggage in the vestibules and in compartments couchettes and WL, covers up to a maximum of € 260.00.
Customers can deposit empty bags free of charge at the stations providing this service, for a period of 24 hours starting from ticket stamping.

You can transport your bicycles also on many international trains in a dedicated carriage or in the spaces provided in the travellers carriages.
