Train and bicycle: a dynamic combination
bicycle pictogram
If you'd like to take your bicycle on the train,

there are two ways of doing it:

  • a one way trip using the 5,00 EUR* "cycle card and tandemcard" for a bicycle/tandem (+ possibly childtrailer). 
  • a "one-day card" (libre-parcours d'un jour) which lets you take your bicycle/tandem (+ possibly childtrailer) on the train for 8,00 EUR* all day long anywhere in the country.

These cards are valid for one year from their date of purchase. All you have to do is, before you board the train, write in the day (in full) and the date (DD/MM/YYYY) of use.

*prices valid from 1st February 2009


      Buy and print out via our website

The 'cycle card and tandemcard' ticket you buy through our site is:

  • made out in your name
  • non-reimbursable, non-exchangeable
  • available from 31 days before the travel date.     

                                                                                   

       

(!) The “one-day pass” is not on sale via our website.  

You can print the ticket yourself. It cannot be linked to the electronic identity card.

Your online payment is being processed via the Ogone secure payment site which uses the most advanced security systems.    

    Advice

  • Each type of train has a different number of places for bicycles.

  • We would advise you, for your own comfort and convenience, to travel with your bicycle at off-peak times.

  • Bicycles and tandems must be loaded and unloaded at the points indicated by the train staff, under their supervision.

  • For loading and unloading in Brussels, we recommend the Brussels Midi and Brussels North stations. It is not possible to load or unload bicycles at the stations of Brussels Central, Brussels Chapelle or Brussels Congres.

    Other info

Some of our stations have special roofed areas for parking bicycles.

Do you want to know whether your station has bicycle parking?

You can rent bicycles from some stations.
