Can you take your bike on the train in Sweden?

Knowing which trains allow bikes can be a challenge. According to a survey by the Lund Nature Conservation Association, it is possible to take your bike on regional trains in most counties. On commuter trains, restrictions apply, with bicycles usually only allowed during off-peak hours. The rules vary, so it is important to check what applies to your particular journey.

To help you plan your trips, there are detailed rail maps of northern and southern Sweden showing where you can take your bike on the train. The maps give an overview of the routes that allow bicycles and the density of train traffic on these lines.

For cyclists who want to combine train and bike travel, this is an invaluable guide to flexible and environmentally friendly travel.
