The answer most route apps don't have. Policies for 30+ trains, buses, and ferries worldwide — curated from operator T&Cs and community reports.
Travelled with a bike recently?
Policies change — booking windows tighten, new trains launch, summer rules differ from winter. Add what you know and help the next cyclist.
Build your full intermodal route on By Sloth — plan which segments are train vs. cycle, check which legs accept bikes, and get community notes from other touring cyclists.
Policies are sourced from official operator T&Cs and verified by date. Bike policies change frequently — seasonal routes, new rolling stock, and changing regulations all affect what's permitted. Always confirm with the operator before travel, especially for international trips.
Entries marked "Check locally" mean the policy is real but variable — time of day, specific train, or route affects whether you and your bike get on. This is not a "no" — it means ring ahead.
This database is curated and updated manually. Community reports from By Sloth users who've done routes with bikes are layered on top where available.
