Any advice re transporting a folding trike please?
My friends are planning a European tour on their DF bikes and naturally I’d like to go too but haven’t found an easy way of getting a 30kg Ice Sprint trike plus luggage to Southern Europe so far, can you point me at where to look or confirm my fears that it’s not practical please?
My friends have options to hire DF bikes out there, use the trains, use European Bike Express or fly their bikes out there. I can’t use a DF with my arthritis, so need to look for recumbent solutions.
EBE only seem to cater for uprights, I’ve never heard of hiring trikes abroad, trikes don’t seem to be accepted on trains anywhere and I’m not sure of the logistics of flying a heavy trike overseas, particularly as I don’t have a large enough rigid case to pack the trike into.
So, cutting to the chase: has anyone done it and found a cost effective, quick, foolproof way of getting to Southern France, Switzerland, Northern Italy sort of area where my friends are looking to go? I’ve used the Hull ferry to Northern Europe, but can’t see a quick cheap way of getting the rest of the way.
