Bicycle transport is not automatically included with the Deutschlandticket. Here are the key points you need to know:
- Costs: Additional tickets are usually required. Prices vary by region, e.g. €7 for a daily bicycle ticket nationwide or €42.50 monthly in NRW.
- Free transport: In some federal states like Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, bicycle transport is free. In Rhineland-Palatinate, it's free on weekdays from 9 AM.
- Restrictions: Transport depends on vehicle capacity. Strollers, wheelchairs, and passengers have priority.
- Bicycle types: Standard bicycles, e-bikes (up to 25 km/h), folding bikes, and children's bikes are permitted. Tandems and cargo bikes only when space allows.
Tip: Plan your journey outside rush hours (e.g. before 7 AM or after 6:30 PM) and check the rules of your local transport association in advance.
