Yeah, I used to love bike+Eurostar but they fucked us by using Covid as some excuse to shut it down (looking at you too, ferry providers). I went to Belgium to race a few weeks ago and used car+Chunnel. I hate driving but it's ok once you get out of the shithole that is the UK. The best bit about using the car though is the filling it up with Belgian beer on the way back.

also under the 'just take the train/ferry' to France, I contacted Eurostar asking why have they halted the bike service and when do they plan to reopen it. They literally copy paste answers and/or give non-answers like "watch out this space" every time. All channels have been exhausted, phone (no1 answers), twitter, email (extreme slow response).
I hate driving but its looking to be the most reliable, cheapest and flexible way for me to get to France, i will be parking the car near a TGV station and take the dreamy French trains from there.
At the moment the cost of doing this is £215 plus Eurotunnel which will be £100 at least each way. I still wont fly but if I did the flights are £60 return.
