On the Eurostar from Avignon back to the UK yesterday there were many people with bikes. One couple had put there bikes in the luggage racks (you have to take the wheels off and loosen the handlebars and put them in a bag, a plastic bag will do) when another guy arrived and tried to remove their bikes so he could stow his. Queue a very heated argument with much shouting, shoving and pushing and pulling of dismantled of bikes. I got up and pointed out that the luggage racks at the other end of the carriage were completely empty then retreated to the safety of my seat before they got a chance to whack me with a Blackburn pump.
