Traveling by train with your bike in France can be a wonderful experience, but it requires proper preparation, especially regarding transporting your bicycle. SNCF (the French national railway company) has strict rules for transporting non-disassembled bikes (bags must not exceed 130 cm x 90 cm), and choosing a suitable transport bag is crucial to avoid any problems.
At the house of Buds -Sports, we are proud to offer the only transport covers that fully comply with SNCF requirements, guaranteeing you a stress-free journey with no extra charges to pay.
