If you want to travel by bicycle in ÖBB, these are the options available for the two train types:
- Regional trains:
- You can take your bicycle on local transportation (Cityjet Xpress, regional train, regional express, and S-Bahn) if there are enough free spaces. It is not possible to reserve a bicycle space on these trains.
- The Einfach-Raus bicycle ticket may also be useful for small groups.
- Long-distance trains:
- You must reserve a space for your bicycle on long-distance trains (Railjet, Railjet Xpress, Intercity, Eurocity, Express train, ICE, and Nightjet) by contacting us.
Bicycles larger than the standard dimensions (length over 185 cm, height over 110 cm, width over 60 cm, tire size from 29 inches, width greater than 4.2 cm, and maximum weight of 30 kg) as well as tandems, recumbent bikes, and bicycle trailers can only be transported in special luggage compartments.
Please keep in mind that each bicycle ticket only allows for one bicycle reservation. If at all possible, we would like you to print out your bicycle reservation and attach it to your bicycle somewhere visible. This will assist our train employees with ticket validation.
E-bikes are generally allowed under similar conditions as regular bicycles:
- The battery of the e-bike should be properly secured, and in some cases, disconnected during the train journey.
- There are restrictions during peak hours on certain routes, particularly in urban areas, to avoid overcrowding.
