  • Yeah, I don't have a car either and have been vegetarian for almost 50 years, so I can probably fly wherever I like.

    Flight back from Bilbao is a fairly reasonable 87 euros with a bike. Can't be much more from London to Reus either, which makes it about the same price as getting to Paris and back with a bike on Eurostar. And a fucktonne quicker.

    and there's the rub... make trains faster and cheaper and more frequent and stick bike cabins on the bastards and embrace multi-modal travel OR just keep pumping out cheap flights and cars so that people don't even think about trains as an option.

  • Annoyingly, it was kinda cheaper/more convenient 10+ years ago. You could take your bike on Eurostar in a big bag as luggage or whack it in the bike cabin fully built up for a nominal fee. We've gone backwards since.
