| | BIKE AND TRAIN
Are you going on a cycling holiday in Holland and would you like to cover some parts of the route by train? This is often possible. The rules are as follows. In addition to a ticket for yourself, you buy one for your bike. If the ticket office is closed, you can buy the tickets from the ticket-machine. You put the bike on the train yourself. The baggage compartment is easily recognizable by a blue sticker with a bicycle on it above one of the doors. Full bags cannot be left on the bike. Remove them beforehand: it makes "loading and unloading" easier. In addition, it is wise to place your bike in the most stable position in the baggage compartment. Some trains have special clamps for this purpose. Please note that you are not allowed to take your bike on a train during the morning and evening peak periods (6.30 a.m. to 9.00 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. to 6 p.m.). A collapsible (folding) bike can be taken on a train without any extra costs. However, it must be folded than!BIKE RENTAL AT TRAIN STATIONS
You can rent a bike at more then 100 stations in Holland for just one day. However, you will need valid ID and you will have to pay a security in advance. Of course, your money will be returned when you return the bike in good order. |
