Bicycle on board the train? In Sicily, transporting bicycles on the railway network is advantageous: they can travel for free on regional trains, where there are special racks. An opportunity to increase cycle tourism in Sicily and visit many new locations on two wheels.
It is worth remembering the possibility of reaching many places along the coast such as Cefalù, Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto, beaches such as Capo d'Orlando and Tindari. Either for travel between Syracuse and Messina, or on the opposite side to reach the Tyrrhenian coast: Mazzara del Vallo, Marsala and Trapani. There is also a railway connection between Palermo and Catania, which is currently interrupted due to works to double the line.
Intercity buses are also already set up for transporting bikes on board, with racks and charging points for electric bicycles.
In May a special Trenitalia promotion allows you to transport your bike for free on Intercity trains. There are 6 bike spaces, where it is possible to attach the bicycle mounted to the rack and positioned vertically. There are also 2 charging points for electric bicycles. In this way you will be able to save the supplement equal to €3.50.
There is also a refreshment corner where you can have a snack in complete tranquility. Remember, on Intercity trains each traveler can carry only one bicycle with them by purchasing the relevant bike transport service, with mandatory booking directly on the portal Trenitalia.
Have a nice trip!
