Personal experience. Transporting a bicycle on a long-distance train. How to transport a bicycle on a train Carrying a bicycle on a bus

According to clause 2.10.4 of the Rules for Use of the Moscow Metro, bicycles cannot be transported in the subway, with the exception of folding bicycles and children's bicycles.

In practice, if you remove the front wheel, turn the handlebars on its side and place all the parts in a case, you can transport the bike as luggage, but this option is definitely not suitable for daily practice.

The size of luggage should not exceed 150 cm in length. In this case, it is carried free of charge.

At the same time, during rush hour, you should not enter the metro with a bicycle at all for reasons of convenience of other passengers.

MCC

On Moskovsky central ring, in accordance with clause 2.7.5 of the Rules for Use of the Moscow Metro, a passenger can carry no more than one bicycle in an unassembled form, subject to conditions that exclude inconvenience for the passage of other passengers.

Places for transporting bicycles are usually located in the last carriage of the train. You should also enter the train with a bicycle through the doors with the corresponding icon.

The bicycle must be placed in the train carriage on the platform provided for this purpose and secured to bicycle racks. If a bicycle is moved around the carriage, this will already be a violation. There is no need to purchase an additional ticket for transportation.

"Mosgortrans"

You can carry a bicycle on buses, trams and trolleybuses of the State Unitary Enterprise Mosgortrans, provided that there is free space in the storage area in the cabin. At the same time, a two-wheeled vehicle should not create inconvenience for other passengers: you cannot take up too much space, move around the cabin, or transport a dirty bicycle.

Entry with a bicycle into a tram, trolleybus or bus equipped with turnstiles is permitted through the second door after all passengers have exited. Let everyone through, and only then come in with your bike.

Carriage of one bicycle is free for all categories of passengers.

It is also worth remembering the busiest routes and refraining from traveling with a bicycle during peak hours.

"Mostransavto"

According to the rules of the State Unitary Enterprise Mostransavto, bicycles can be transported disassembled or folded in the luggage compartment of a bus. In this case, the total dimensions of the vehicle should not exceed 180 cm.

This is a paid service. To transport a bicycle up to 25 km, you need to pay from 30 to 60 rubles. A ticket for a bicycle for a distance of 25 to 50 km will cost from 60 rubles. Transportation over 50 km will cost 90 rubles and more.

You can also insure your bike in case something happens to it along the way.

According to Article 22 of Federal Law No. 259 “Charter of Motor Transport and Urban Ground Electric Transport”, you can carry free on buses items whose total length, width and height do not exceed 120 cm - this can be a folded scooter, a baby stroller or a skateboard.

Electric trains

For Moscow Railway passengers with bicycles, special CPPC tariffs apply.

In a regular train or "Swallow" free pass with a bicycle is available in the morning before 06:00, from 11:00 to 16:00 and in the evening after 21:00. In this case, you must issue a free ticket at the box office.

The rest of the time, you can also transport bicycles, but for a fee: for a ticket for transporting a bicycle up to 100 km you need to pay 60 rubles, over 100 km the tariff increases to 120 rubles. The ticket can be purchased at the box office or in the terminal in the “Baggage” section. On OZhD trains departing from Leningradsky Station, the cost of transporting a bicycle is 25 rubles and 50 rubles, respectively.

There is a document that regulates the transportation of bicycles and other things in the subway - “Rules for using the subway.” These rules are almost the same in all Russian cities that have a metro system.

They usually don’t say a word directly about transporting bicycles. It doesn’t say that riding with a bicycle is allowed, but there is no direct ban on it either. It is for this reason that some cyclists enter the subway with a bicycle, and no one stops them. Others are stopped. The fact is that the “Rules” state that it is forbidden to transport cargo whose size in height and two bases in total exceeds 220 cm, and it is also prohibited to transport objects that can injure or stain other passengers. Theoretically, a bicycle can dirty other passengers, this is one of the reasons for prohibiting its transportation. It can also injure someone on an escalator if you don't hold it back.

In addition, there is a postal message “On the procedure for transporting bicycles in the subway,” written in 2008, which states that transporting a bicycle in the subway is prohibited. According to this document, a bicycle can only be transported unassembled and packed in a case. In 2002, a previous version of this postal message was created, it stated that you can transport a bicycle with one of the wheels removed. Not all cyclists are aware of the tightening of these requirements.

Bicycle cover

If the inspector or responsible employee of the metro does not allow you to carry a bicycle on the subway, then there is no point in arguing or arguing with him: he is just abiding by the law. Therefore, you should prepare in advance for transporting your two-wheeled friend by purchasing or making your own bicycle cover. By the way, a bicycle can be transported in a case not only in the subway, but also on a train or.

The easiest option is to buy a case in a store. The cheapest models of covers cost about 600 rubles, and if you often transport your bicycle on the subway or other types of transport, this will be a profitable purchase.

You can also sew the cover yourself, there is nothing complicated about it. The main thing is to make a pattern according to the dimensions of your own bicycle, after first removing the front wheel and folding it together with the rear one. If you are sewing a cover only for transporting a bicycle in the subway, then you don’t have to worry about packing the steering wheel: it’s okay if it sticks out.

How to transport a bicycle to public transport.

How to transport a bicycle on public transport.

Many residents major cities Sometimes you have to transport your bike on public transport. Some people want to ride away from the city, others need to bring their bike home from the store.

Metropolitan
Let's say right away: carrying a bicycle on the subway is not the most pleasant experience. The rules for using the metro clearly state that the transportation of bicycles is prohibited (except for children's and folding bicycles). Because the overall dimensions of a regular bicycle are slightly larger than the maximum permissible dimensions hand luggage.
There is a way out - you need to remove the front wheel before going to the station. Of course, you will have to pay for a disassembled bicycle, just like luggage. With the front wheel removed, the bicycle turns into hand luggage, which is perfectly acceptable for transportation on the subway.
Apparently, the person who drew up these rules (more precisely, the clause concerning bicycles) had never seen a bicycle in his life. Otherwise, he would have known that rolling a bicycle on two wheels is much more convenient and safer for others than carrying a bicycle in one hand and a wheel in the other.
The front wheel of modern bicycles can be removed quickly and easily, and put on just as quickly, so no one tries to carry a disassembled bicycle around stations.
After passing the turnstiles, the wheel must be immediately returned to its place and the bicycle can be safely rolled on. Many (but not all!) people on duty at the turnstiles understand the essence of the problem and do not force you to remove the wheel. But sometimes you can find an attendant who does not allow a passenger with a bicycle into the station at all, under any conditions, even with the wheel removed. You should also be prepared for such a meeting.
Everyone understands that you should not take a bicycle on the subway during rush hours. And ride around the stations too.
In general, you can only carry a bicycle on the subway if absolutely necessary, early in the morning or late in the evening. And it is often safer to ride a bicycle ten kilometers around the city under your own power than to conflict with the guards on duty at the turnstiles and with passengers in the carriage.

City ground transport.
In the city ground transport Carrying a bicycle is completely inconvenient. Yes, usually there is no need. The length of a city bus-trolleybus route rarely exceeds 5-10 km, and you can cover such a distance on a bicycle much faster than on the same bus.

Suburban electric train.
Unlike the metro, transporting bicycles on electric trains is not prohibited by the rules. You need to purchase a separate ticket for a bicycle and feel free to go with it into the carriage.
How to place a bicycle in a carriage so that it does not disturb anyone?
In some carriages, the first row of seats has been removed, and it is quite possible to put not one, but several bicycles in this place.
In carriages of other designs there are no places for bicycles, and they have to be placed between the seats. This is no longer so convenient: it is not very pleasant for other passengers to sit with their knees resting on your horse, especially if it is not very clean, and if there are a lot of people in the carriage, conflicts are possible.
Another option: leave the bike in the vestibule, but then you will have to stand in the vestibule the whole way. You can, of course, lock your bike to the handrails in the vestibule and go into the carriage yourself, but you still need to keep the bike in sight.
In general, it is quite recommended that cyclists, summer residents, and fishermen transport their bicycles on electric trains.

We will leave the issue of paying for travel on an electric train with a bicycle outside the scope of this article. Let me just note that the payment amount can be, to put it mildly, “optimized”, and everyone chooses the methods of this optimization for themselves, coordinating the requirements of Russian Railways, with their conscience and financial capabilities.

Train long distance.
Long-distance trains are often used by tourists planning a long trip.
It turns out that carrying a bicycle on a long-distance train is quite convenient, but for this you need to prepare it in advance.
According to the baggage transportation rules, any passenger has the right to carry hand luggage weighing up to 36 kg free of charge. That is, any bicycle, even with a backpack, easily fits into this limitation. And an ordinary bicycle slightly does not fit into the permissible overall dimensions. The bike will have to be disassembled a bit to become regular carry-on luggage.

To carry a bicycle on a train, you need to purchase (or sew yourself) a bicycle cover in advance, and prepare several ropes about a meter long.

To load the bike onto the train, you will also need to remove the pedals, and you may have to loosen the steering wheel. This requires some tools. When preparing for your trip, select the keys and screwdrivers that will be useful for loading your bike onto the train and keep them nearby.
Please also note that removing the pedal may require considerable effort. And if you don’t want to exercise two minutes before the train departs, don’t be too lazy to unscrew the pedals from the cranks at home in advance. Then apply a little grease to the threads and screw them back on. Just don't wrap it too tightly.

Immediately before loading onto the train you need to:

• Remove the bike backpack and everything that can be easily removed from the bike (fenders, lights, bike computer). It is better to put small items in the pocket of a bicycle backpack, and large ones in a bicycle cover.
• Remove the front wheel from the bike and tie it to the frame on the right side with ropes (there it will slightly protect the rear derailleur).
• Turn the steering wheel 90°. This is easier to do if the front fender has already been removed. And if you can’t remove it without tools, you first need to loosen the steering wheel mounting screw.
• Lower the saddle until it touches the seat tube.
• Unscrew the pedals from the connecting rods and screw them on the other side.
• Pack the disassembled bike in a case.

Now your bicycle is quite suitable for loading into the carriage, and the conductors will not have any complaints about your luggage.
If you are going on a cycling trip, it is better to purchase tickets for a reserved seat carriage. A bicycle packed in a cover fits very well on the third shelf of an ordinary reserved seat carriage. If your fellow travelers start to worry that your bike will fall on their head at night, you can secure the cover with one or two more ropes to the ceiling of the car. It’s best when cyclists like you ride in the compartment with you. Therefore, if you are going on a hike not alone, but in a group, then try to purchase tickets in the same compartment or nearby.
It is quite possible to load four bicycles into one compartment of a reserved seat carriage if you place them on the third shelf not along, but across the compartment. Each bike lies on two shelves at the same time, everything is secure and safe.

True, in Lately New-style reserved seat carriages began to appear, the creators of which, it seems, did not suspect the existence of cyclists (as well as kayakers and skiers). There is a partition along the entire carriage, which turns the task of placing bicycles on the third shelf into a puzzle (however, solvable, albeit with some difficulty). But no one promised that it would be easy....

Intercity bus.
Preparing a bicycle for a ride on an intercity bus is not much different from preparing for a long-distance train. Modern intercity buses have large luggage compartments where you can put a bicycle packed in a cover.

Aviation transport.
If you are going on a bike trip in an area where trains do not go, or it takes a very long time to go there by train, then you will have to use an airplane. You need to pack your bike in a case, just like before loading it on the train. You just need to take into account that you will load your bicycle on the train yourself, but on the plane it will travel in the luggage compartment, and how carefully the loaders will handle it there is unknown. It is possible that they will walk on it and break something. Therefore, it doesn’t hurt to put sheets of cardboard from a large box in the bike case in advance.
Rules for the carriage of baggage in different airlines may differ, so it would be a good idea to consult with an airline representative about transporting a bicycle before your trip. So that there are no unpleasant surprises at the airport.

View and join us.

Sometimes you go somewhere far from the city on a bike and feel that you can’t go back. Or you need to go to the suburbs on business. This is where electric trains help us! Is it possible to carry a bicycle on a train and how can this be done?

Rules

Take care of what you will transport the bike in. Russian Railways prohibit carrying dirty luggage, so you will attract a lot of attention to yourself. Prepare some kind of bag or large package.

Prepare luggage elastic bands: you will need them to compactly attach your bike to the wall or handles.

If you are traveling with friends, it is better to go into different carriages. Many bikes in one carriage will create a queue.

Travel rules state that the hand luggage of a train passenger can weigh less than 36 kg and take no more than 180 cm, if the lengths in all dimensions are summed up. This is if you transport a folding bicycle folded.

It is convenient to hang the bike on the shelf for hand luggage, and it does not interfere with any of the passengers

As for an unassembled bike, the rules say that you can transport bicycles without a motor on an electric train. The transportation fee in this case is set by the railway.

That is, we have a choice: to carry a disassembled or folded bike as hand luggage or a whole bike for a fee.

In principle, the bike can be carried as hand luggage in any case: just remove the front wheel. After you go through the turnstiles, you can put the wheel back. Just take it off again when you leave.

Price

On the trains of JSC Central PPK and JSC Moskovsko-Tverskaya PPK you can carry an assembled bike for free. This is possible every day from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and at night from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.

The only condition is that the beginning and end of the journey be in Moscow or Moscow Region. In the carriages of JSC Moskovsko-Tverskaya PPK, you can transport a bike for free only within the Moscow Region. Bringing a bicycle is only allowed if you have taken a free ticket. It is prohibited to enter the train with a bike without a ticket. You cannot buy a ticket in advance: it is issued only at the time indicated above.

To transport a bike on a train, remove at least one wheel and put the entire bike in a bag

You can issue a free ticket at the terminal. To do this, click “Carry-on baggage” or “Luggage” in the menu. If there are no such items, then click “Show other types of tickets” or scroll further. You must pay for the ticket either before the trip, or in the carriage itself to the controller.

When mass cycling events are held in Moscow, for example, “Bike to Work” or “Bike Parade”, transportation is free at any time of the day. Check the promotions at the information stands.

Out of time free transportation Payment is made according to tariffs. The cost in this case ranges from 40 to 120 rubles. It depends on the direction of travel and the distance traveled.

In general, the controllers themselves do not know how much to pay for traveling with a bicycle on the train. On this basis, conflicts constantly arise between Russian Railways employees and cyclists. Try not to conflict, but solve problems calmly and with a smile, then you will definitely be allowed into the carriage with the bike.

Where to put?

To prevent your bike from disturbing anyone, you can hang it by the saddle from the top luggage rack. Be sure to check if it hangs there securely. must be securely tightened! You can also secure the bike to the rack with a bike lock if you're worried about ruining the seat. Passengers and inspectors don’t complain about suspended bikes: it’s very convenient and you won’t disturb anyone.

Special places for bicycles on the Slovak Electric Train

Some trains have special places for oversized cargo. If there are any in your carriage, feel free to put the bike there. He won't bother anyone there. Look for such places in other carriages if yours does not have them, because this is the most the best option transportation

The first two methods are the most convenient, but there is one more: you can put the Bike between the seats for passengers. You can even turn it over so it doesn't fall. This method can only be used in an empty carriage: when large quantities passengers, the bicycle will cause inconvenience to people.

It is better not to park a bike in the vestibule: you will disturb other passengers and make enemies for yourself. The only thing is that you can park the bike in the vestibule of the first or last car, because they are always less crowded.

Prohibited

• Of course, you can't ride the train without a ticket. Even if this ticket is free. You always need a ticket.
• You cannot transport a dirty bike; always wrap it in film, put it in a bag, and so on.

Another way to mount the bike on a shelf

On a long distance train

There is no way you can hang your bike on the rack on these trains. It turns out that the bike can only be transported disassembled. The shelves in the compartment and reserved seat are large, so even several disassembled bicycles can fit there. Conflicts with neighbors on the train should not arise, since there is plenty of space. You just need to secure the bike with luggage rubber bands so that under no circumstances does it fall off the shelf.

There is no need to buy a separate ticket to transport your bike on the train. Simply take it apart, put it in your bag, and place it in your carry-on rack. The most convenient way is to put the bike in a special one.

How to pack

Remove the front wheel, saddle (the pin can be pushed into the frame or removed along with the seat) and handlebars from the bike. To make it even more compact, sometimes the pedals and rear wheel are removed. Don't forget that the two pedals have different threads!

To avoid getting your bag dirty, it is better to pack a clean bike in it.

Arrive at the platform early to avoid any disputes with the conductors. If suddenly you are not allowed into the carriage with a packed bicycle, make sure that:

• The weight of the bag does not exceed 35 kg.
• The cover must be soft so that the bicycle in it does not injure other passengers or damage their belongings.
• The bike must fit on the carry-on luggage rack; the dimensions of the bag with the bike (the sum of three dimensions) must not exceed 180 cm.

If these rules are followed, you have every right to transport your bicycle on the train.

Some people prefer to put the bike in a case in the luggage compartment. It must be submitted 12 hours before the departure of your train. The bicycle will not necessarily travel on your train, so you may have to wait for it upon arrival. The bike may arrive faulty and damaged in the luggage compartment, so this method is rarely used.

And most importantly: be extremely careful on the railway tracks! Not long ago, a train hit a cyclist crossing the tracks. It is very dangerous! You need to cross railway tracks only in places specially designated for this purpose. Make sure there is no train coming either to the left or to the right. Otherwise, wait until it passes, even if the train is still very far away. Walking or cycling along railroad tracks is prohibited. Take care of yourself!

Part 1.

Those who have a bicycle have at least once had to deal with the need to transport it. And if available own car As a rule, no problems arise, but when using public transport, knowledge of the rules for transporting a bicycle will not hurt. This article is devoted to this topic. In order to save your time, a few words about its structure. The first part is the main one - in it you will find general information on the transportation of bicycles (prohibited or permitted; form of transportation; tariff), in the second part, those for whom the previous information seems insufficient can get acquainted with excerpts from regulatory documents on the rules for transporting this vehicle.

Automobile

When transporting a bicycle in your personal car, no problems usually arise. If you wish, having previously removed the front wheel, you can transport it in the cabin, or, having bought a bike rack you like, place it on the roof, tow bar, rear door or even on a spare wheel; fortunately, the choice of modern bike racks allows you to do this without any difficulty.

Briefly - according to the special postal message dated 09/08/2008 “On the procedure for transporting bicycles in the metro,” the carriage of bicycles in the metro is prohibited. To argue whether something is good or bad is an activity that belongs to the field of rhetoric, and this moment the situation is what it is. The solution is to pack the bike in a bike case, try to carry it disassembled, or travel by ground transport.

Ground public transport (bus, tram, trolleybus)

The “Rules for the Use of Ground Passenger Transport” do not say a word about bicycles, but there is one point that, if a precedent arises, the controller can interpret in its favor. This paragraph states that the passenger “is not allowed to carry carry-on luggage as baggage and hand luggage, the sum of three dimensions exceeding 180 cm.” Your bike (if you don’t have a BMX) exceeds the sum of three dimensions 180 cm (only its length is already approximately 160 cm!). Conclusion: there is nothing to do with a bicycle (even in a bike case) on a bus, tram, or trolleybus. This probably sounds too categorical and you yourself will give more than one example of transporting bicycles, even unassembled, on public transport. It’s up to you - you can and probably should always try to negotiate with the conductor; our task is to warn you.

* regarding the transport of bicycles in suburban and international buses— here you will have to negotiate with each driver individually. There are no rules as such. The most likely option is to transport the bicycle in a semi-disassembled state in the trunk of a bus. You may be able to arrange transportation directly in the cabin. Regarding payment, it depends. Sometimes you will have to pay for both yourself and the bike, and sometimes only for yourself - no patterns have been established.

Local and long-distance trains

Suburban and long-distance trains across Russia

Unassembled bicycles on commuter trains are allowed to be transported in the vestibule for an additional fee and no more than one.

Unassembled and packed in covers, bicycles, according to the current rules of travel on railways, are allowed to be transported free of charge, provided that they fit the description of the term “oversized cargo”. If, at the same time, your bicycle and backpack are also weighed, and you accordingly receive a receipt for the weight of your luggage, then the conductor will have no chance at all to prohibit you from boarding the train.

It is more convenient and easier to travel with bicycles in a reserved seat carriage - four bicycles, packed in pairs in covers, can be easily stored on the third shelf. For the peace of mind of your fellow passengers, it is useful to have a rope ready to tie bicycles to handrails, handles, etc.

When packing bicycles in covers, the front wheel (sometimes both) is removed, the steering wheel is turned, the pedals are unscrewed and screwed on the other side of the connecting rod inside the frame. The removed front wheels are placed either in the same or in a separate case. When stacking bicycles, do not damage the most vulnerable parts of the bicycle - the connecting rod system and the rear dropout with a cock. Experts recommend that when packing, pad the bicycle parts with pieces of old foam (tourist mat) or bubble polyethylene - this will help avoid scratches and possible damage. If you don’t have time to buy or sew a cover for transportation, you can use regular large garbage bags (120 liters each) instead. Two of them can be used for removed wheels, another two are put on the frame on both sides.

However, there is another option - if there is a free utility seat on the train, you can try to negotiate with the conductor: perhaps, for a certain amount, he will agree to allow you to carry the bicycle even in an unassembled form.

International rail connections

Regarding international rail transport, each country has its own rules. The most likely option is that the bicycle must also be disassembled and packed in a case (it is understood that it must fit on a standard luggage rack, similar in size to those that can be seen in our local trains). In this case, they will not charge you any additional money either. Another option is to have a special carriage (usually the first or last), which only happens in certain trains. In the schedule, such a train is marked with an icon depicting a bicycle. A “bicycle” is a regular carriage from which some of the seats have been removed. To use this carriage, you need to buy a bicycle ticket, which usually costs from 3 to 5 euros and consists of two parts. You stick one on your bike and keep the other for yourself, and both parts must be validated before boarding the train, just like a regular ticket.

There are no uniform legal norms that would regulate the transportation of bicycles by plane. The rules are determined by the specific airline that carries out the transportation. Therefore, even before purchasing tickets, it makes sense to ask what conditions exist for a given carrier.

Some airlines classify a bicycle as oversized cargo and force you to pay for its weight in full, regardless of the total weight of the baggage; others classify the bicycle as sports equipment and its weight is paid towards the baggage allowance.

Company restrictions on the size of luggage carried may also vary.

According to the rules, the bicycle must be packed in a bike bag or box, but usually it is enough to wrap it in strong plastic and tie it with a rope. Naturally, this must be done before entering the airport terminal. If at check-in you are asked to pack it in a box, be prepared to pay about $20 extra for it. If there is no such desire, you need to say in a confident voice that you always drive like this. Most operators are faced with the problem of transporting a bicycle for the first time and will let you through. Since a packed bicycle is classified as “non-standard” luggage, it is delivered separately to the plane and back - as “oversize luggage”. This means you won't need to place it on a standard conveyor, but will instead either leave it at the register or take it to a special wide belt conveyor. Accordingly, you will also need to pick it up not from the general carousel, but look somewhere nearby on the floor or next to a special compartment for such luggage.

Ferries and high-speed catamarans are equally convenient for transporting bicycles. On the ferry, the bicycle remains in the hold along with cars and mopeds. All you have to do is tie it or fasten it to some device in case of rocking. On a catamaran, you are allowed to take your bicycle with you into the cabin and place it somewhere near the exit. The issue of payment is resolved ambiguously. Somewhere they may require you to purchase a special ticket of the same cost as at railway. But in other places they won’t take additional money at all.
