Hi I am planning on cycling the eurovelo 6 from germany to the black see - so basically following the danube river. Once I (hopefully) arrive in at the shore of the black sea in romania I have to get me and my bike back to germany. I do not want to use planes for traveling, so the train is the obvious choice. When doing some research I noticed that taking a bike on the train in Romania is most of the times not allowed. Does anybody has experience in how to circumvent this problem. Sofar I thought about dissebmbling the bike and transforming it into a piece of lugage. A friend of mine suggested to rent one of those special bike cases - does anybody know if those are rentable in in Bukarest or even Constanta?
Any suggestions are welcome!
While unsure of specific bike containers, I am sure you could find a bike shop and hence bike box.
In days of old, I would pull wheels and wrap my bike and wheels with a sheet or tarp. Just a package in another name. This allowed me to hop any train in Europe, although some conductors questioned me, none stopped me from traveling.
Romania, while having some rough roads, great place to travel and visit.
