Have a ferry to catch at 8pm tonight and wasn't able to cycle to it in time. Just spent the last 2.5 hours trying to persuade the train people at Bologna to let me on with my bike. Eventually they've agreed to let me on with it in 2 large bin bags. Should just about make it on time.
On the plus side the Dolomites were great and I had a tasty pizza last night.
Italian train system is a bit of a nightmare for bikes, only the Inter-Reggio (local) trains allow bikes and even then it's a hassle, the National ones don't allow them at all unless boxed/bagged.
Sorry to hear of your troubles so far-it'll be worth it in the end!
