Not sure that’s true unless you’re a pro mountain biker there for work.
Edit: I’ve been away from import/export for a few years but I have a friend who has ‘smuggled’ 20+ suitcases of designer clothes/jewellery/etc to/from shoots when the carnet office at a port/airport is shut. There are no duties due on personal belongings (with some caveats).
From January it would need to have a carnet and be accompanied, and a bond paid to provide assurance that it was coming back (otherwise I’d have to pay duty and VAT on it in France, and potentially again when it comes back to the UK). Lots of things like this are about to get much more complex.
