Hello, I would like to travel from Ramsgate to Oostende sometime in September or October, but like others on this forum, have found myself frustrated by the ferry company's anti-cyclist policy. I asked the woman at the booking agent what difference it would make if I disguised my bicycle as a motorbike (perhaps attach a lawnmower motor or hairdryer to it?), but this did not help. One idea I have had is to simply hang around at the port and ask van / lorry drivers if they would be willing to take me with my bike in the back. Does anyone know if this is possible? Has anyone tried it? Feedback would be greatly appreciated.
