    Travelling by train in Italy – transport of a bicycle. Practical guide

    by Ewcyna 27 March 2022
    written by Ewcyna

    Let's assume such a scenario - you decide to go on a dream bike vacation in sunny Italy. You are flying by plane (how to transport I wrote here), or maybe by bus, which brings you to a specific place. You have a week, 10 days or two weeks, you want to see as much as possible, but you want to take the time to explore your dream region, and not waste time traveling. What are you doing in Poland? You often use the train to transport your bike. And what does it look like in Italy?

    Because in recent years I have been moving around Italy a lot by bicycle and with a bicycle, I have prepared a bicycle and train guide about this country.

    First, the good news is:

    In Italy you CAN transport bikes by train

    Now for the details:

    Types of trains in Italy

    – Regional (regional, symbol RG)

    – regional fast (fast regional, RV symbol – does not stop at all stations

    – Intercity – between regions over long distances (rather the equivalent of Intercity in Poland)

     – Freccia (for example,. Frecciarossa, Freciabianca) - super fast, an equivalent of Polish Pendolino train

    I would add, that in Italy, in addition to the national carrier Trenitalia, there are also local ones, e.g.. in Lombardy, Puglia. Every region has its own rules (yeah, In Italy you CAN transport bikes by train).

    Transporting bicycles on trains in Italy is allowed in the first three - i.e.. Regional, regional high-speed and Intercity (mandatory reservation).

    regional low-floor train

    It is not possible to transport a bicycle on the fastest trains called here Freccia (Frecciarossa, Frecciabianca) or the equivalent of the Polish Pendolino or in Intercity night. Transporting bicycles on trains in Italy is allowed in the first three - i.e., Transporting bicycles on trains in Italy is allowed in the first three - i.e., Transporting bicycles on trains in Italy is allowed in the first three - i.e., etc, – Transporting bicycles on trains in Italy is allowed in the first three - i.e., Transporting bicycles on trains in Italy is allowed in the first three - i.e.. Transporting bicycles on trains in Italy is allowed in the first three - i.e.

    REGIONAL TRAINS

    As in Poland, Transporting bicycles on trains in Italy is allowed in the first three - i.e. (Transporting bicycles on trains in Italy is allowed in the first three - i.e.).

    Here is the link to the subpage on the website of the national carrier in Italy or Trenitalia (PKP equivalent) where you can find the rules. And perhaps this could be the end of the, however, there are many nuances.

    Regional train and bicycle are the most reliable choice, but it can fail in high season or on weekends, when there are a lot of volunteers. I will quote the recipes behind the Trenitalia website:

    ..."On regional trains marked with a special symbol and limited to available seats, each passenger can take an assembled bicycle, by purchasing an additional bicycle ticket, which is valid up to the hour 23:59 on the date indicated on the ticket or alternatively on another second-class single-use ticket.

    Train crew may not allow passengers to carry bicycles onto the train in the case of, when the transport of the bicycle is considered to be detrimental to the train crew.".

    A large part of regional trains are low-floor trains, when the transport of the bicycle is deemed harmful to the train service .. " (mainly Regionale Veloce) are not very new trains, where the bicycle compartment is in part , where to climb the stairs (when the transport of the bicycle is deemed harmful to the train service .. ", someone "have thought hard on it"). Also be careful, because on some regional trains it is not officially possible to carry bicycles – these are usually very old trains (when the transport of the bicycle is deemed harmful to the train service .. ") when the transport of the bicycle is deemed harmful to the train service .. ".

    when the transport of the bicycle is deemed harmful to the train service .. " – when the transport of the bicycle is deemed harmful to the train service .. ", when the transport of the bicycle is deemed harmful to the train service .. " (…)

    when the transport of the bicycle is deemed harmful to the train service .. "…

    OpłFares for transporting bicycles by train in Italy by region

    The standard fare for a bike on the train is 3,5 EUR. The ticket is valid up to an hour 23:59 same day

    Here's a note:

    – in some regions, that is: Apulia, Sicily, Abruzzo bike can be transported for FREE (see the table below)

    – There are also regional regulations, which was very difficult for me to reach (standard - nobody knows anything).

    – In Tuscany, where i'm most of the time lately, as it turned out, a kind seller at the Siena train station informed me, the following rule applies, that "the ticket costs 3,5 EUR, BUT in hours 9-16.00 during the week and at weekends the ticket costs only 1,5 EUR and you can move around on a train all day within a given province ". That sounds much better right? The problem is that, that no one else knew about it and, that the ticket machine (and most of the smaller stations only have vending machines), does not give this option.

    – in the north in Lombardy (for example,. Milan, Bergamo, Lake Como area), if you are traveling with the local Trenord carrier, ticket costs 3 € and is valid for 24 hours. This ticket is only valid for travel within the region.

I am not a fan of big humidity in the air. I sweat I am not a fan of big humidity in the air. I sweat a lot and on practical side the tent is wet in the morning. Sometimes it takes too long for it to get dry but then hopefully the sun will come out during the day. It's enough to find a proper spot, 10 minutes, all done!

While living in #valdorcia in Tuscany for a few mo While living in #valdorcia in Tuscany for a few months I've watched thousands of people visiting the same places to see the same views. The viewpoints were marked on google maps and mentioned on tourism sites. 
I didn't follow them, but this one close to #montepulciano I just came across. So why not to do a selfie there? 
Luckily being a #cyclist I wander around and see same beautiful, yet not full of people places.

The Padan lowland is probably the least attractive The Padan lowland is probably the least attractive part of Italy for cyclists.  Pros - it's flat and there are many beautiful cities and towns - like Modena, Ferrara, Padua, Ravenna and dozens of smaller ones.  Cons - because it is flat :) - and as we know, mountains, hills and some water do the job in the landscape.  Although the latter is in abundance here, it is not one of the most picturesque.
I've been here before so I wasn't going to spend any time cycling now. Having less than 3 days to get to the bus that was supposed to take me with my bike from Padua to the north, to the Czech Republic, I decided to spend two days in the Apennines - in the mountains 35 degrees heat is more tolerable.  Because for me the heat in this part of the world is unbearable.  This year it came too early, already in May - the grass on the Tuscan slopes is not green anymore, but yellow.  This is one of the reasons why I am coming north.  Turn off this oven !!! The obligatory for me 2-3-4 hour siesta in the shade does not help much when the air is still.  I also didn't see other beautiful cities like Florence, because it's even hotter there, and besides, the start of holidays in Italy (yes, that's it) and the long weekend (Republic Day on June 2) did their job - the crowds went on tour and you have to go  was somewhere to hide from them. 
Due to yet another train strike in Italy I had to postpone my departure, but this way I cycled and actually enjoyed it - the part of river Po lowland and visited some new places like Ferrara.
Today it's cloudy in Padua and it's about to start raining.  Italy is crying that I'm leaving after half a year.. What do I say?  I am happy and sad at the same time.  Anyway- until we meet again, See you soon!

Puglia is not just about the sea and the coast. It Puglia is not just about the sea and the coast. Its carst hills are full of #caves. You can still find those that were inhabited for centuries, not just houses but churches with paintings etc. 
#Matera is a town already in #Basilicata region but right on the border with Puglia, hence visited once there. A #UNESCO heritage as its inhabitants used to live in the cave houses. I was told one of Bond films was done here, but I don't watch Bonds.. The view from the canyon is spectacular but it was do windy I could hardly hold myself and the camera!

Yesterday I took a trip through the Val d'Orcia. I Yesterday I took a trip through the Val d'Orcia. I've been living on its outskirts here in central #Tuscany in #Italy for several months but still have a lot to see or visit again.  I was also waiting for longer and warmer days, because those uphills are challenging! 
Val d'Orcia is an extraordinary area. Like a huge postcard.  So picturesque and characteristic that the valley has even received UNESCO heritage status. Why? "Val d’Orcia is an exceptional reflection of the way the landscape was re-written in Renaissance times to reflect the ideals of good governance and to create an aesthetically pleasing picture. The Val d’Orcia distinctive landscape comprises a network of farms, villages and towns reflecting the Renaissance agricultural prosperity, the mercantile wealth of Sienna, the need for defence, and a utopian aesthetic. The working landscape of fields, farms, trees, and woodlands, is interspersed with low, conical hills on the summits of which are situated towns and villages.."
I have planned a climb towards Pienza for the afternoon- to ride with the sun, the hills grow in beauty with every shadow on them.
 - the way of the Gladiator?  After all, there are beautiful roads everywhere!  I replied to one of the threads on FB, seeing someone posting photos of the same shot of the cypress-lined road again.
But in fact, the "Gladiator's Way", which is the place, where the scene from the movie Gladiator (which I have not even seen) was filmed, is one of the most beautiful.  It is also very Instagrammable and people wanting to see it are plenty (the road is blocked fortunately for cars, you can go on foot) but I didn't meet anyone.  I was busy pushing my bike up the steep mountain where Pienza is nestled.  Ufff! Only when I turned my head I saw this zigzaging path dotted with cypruses with Monte Amiata in the background.

Puglia is a kingdom of baroque architecture. Facad Puglia is a kingdom of baroque architecture. Facades, interiors, palaces, houses, statues in every single town so rich in ornaments. The more inland you go the more authentic and interesting the towns are. Made of "pietra Leccese" - the yellowish stone from Lecce area is its characteristic. Do different from the north.

Looks like Instagram is not much updated. It's bee Looks like Instagram is not much updated. It's been 3 weeks nearly I've been touring around Puglia region, the end of the Italian pennisula "heel". Was here in the winter and came back to see more.  Truly, I'm in awe. 
Even though it last week the wind blew mercilessly, it rained heavily pretty often the predominating colours are blue, emerald and yellowish white of the stone used to construct the houses and multuple churches in baroque style. It was here in #Salento, where I found the most beautiful beaches in Italy. To enjoy peaceful roads I just went inland - there are hundreds of quiet roads among the olive groves to explore.
Let me just enjoy peacefully the last few days before returning north. The summer finally arrived and had a first swim this season!

“Eroica is the cycling manifesto of the past. T “Eroica is the cycling manifesto of the past.  The race takes place every year at the beginning of October, mainly on dirt roads, the so-called Strade Bianche (white roads) in the Chianti and Crete Senesi (Sienese Clays) areas in Tuscany region, Italy. You can only take part in the race on a vintage bike .. ”here's what you can read when searching the internet for" Eroica "+ bicycle. Although my bike is 8.5 years old and it cannot be called historic, but the fact that I have been living two kilometers from the Eroica route for almost 3 months is obliging.  I have already covered a lot of white roads, but this one is unique.  I went out to explore. 
 I will take shortcuts, I decided, looking at the dotted lines of side roads winding through the hills.  And "thanks" to this, soon after that, the wheels of the bicycle and the soles of the shoes were covered with rusty slime.  The beauty of Crete Senesi is indisputable, but those jagged and cracked hills called "calanche", where motorbikes raged on such beautiful days as today and at viewpoints there were queues for the next Instagram photo - it's nothing but clay and the last two days it was raining  a lot of…
 Strade bianche is white gravel.  I know Poland, routes of Lithuania and Latvia.  I do not like these roads - it is steep, it is easy to break down, and when a car passes, you are covered with white dust.  Multiply by the number of cars - there are a lot of them on weekends.  But their charm lies in the surrounding hills.  Up - down, up - down… it's hard, but gosh - it's phenomenal! There is also a race called Nova Eroica, you can take part in it on any other bike.  Interested in vintage atmosphere or an ordinary one? Google it, sign up and arrive in the vicinity of Siena on the first weekend of October.  Or come just like that for a ride or - to push the bike;) Anytime!
