I was in Holland for a while and know that cyclists can use the train
to/from Schipol. The railway station is underground but is linked to
the main airport terminal buildings by inclined moving walkways.

Glad to be of help. I'll see what I can do to get a few pages knocked
together in case anyone needs a map out of Frankfurt airport.  Access
by road just about possible, but not at all obvious- there's a cycle
path from the airport to Zepplinheim which is NOT very well sign
posted after you get to the cycle path.  (This was fun in the dark
after I flew in from Heathrow on Sunday night!). No idea about the
train service from Frankfurt.  Around 15 miles to Frankfurt, and 19
miles to Darmstadt :-).  I can maybe fax a map to anyone daft enough
er..., intrepid enough to try.  Cheers, Dave N.

I think it is a pretty good idea to compile some informations on
accesses to airports.  To tell you the truth I havent ever travelled
with my bike by plane but I plan to do so this summer!  What a have
for you are some informations on the access to the airport of
Hamburg/Germany, which I know well.  The airport is located in the
city altough it is a busy one compared to others in Germany.  What
makes the access for car drivers inconvinient is an advantage for
bikers.  There are no free- or highways leading to the airport but
usual streets with bike lanes.  The centre of Hamburg is about 8 miles
away.

If I get to know of other airports in Germany I let you know!

See you later,

General
-------
In Finland, you are legally required to use a sidewalk bikepath, if
one exists. However, they are not particularly safe, at least at
higher speeds. My experience shows that most motorists don't mind
proper cycling on the roadway, so do what suits you better.  The only
roads you shouldn't use are the motorways (green signs) and where
cycling is specifically prohibited (not many of those).  If you prefer
the bikepaths, note that route selection is often very unintuitive,
and a map is definitely necessary.

(Nearly) all the bike paths are bidirectional. If there is a solid
line in the middle, one side is for bikes and the other for peds.
Ride on the right side of the part designated for bikes. If the line
is dotted or there is no line, ride on the right side of the path.

The route
---------
(Around Helsinki, all the street signs are in Finnish and Swedish,
both the official languages. Only the Finnish names are used in this
text, they are the ones on the top of the signs. This route is mostly
separated from other traffic, and is definitely the most scenic and
definitely most direct. Path surface quality varies, mostly good
quality gravel along the river, good to fair asphalt elsewhere.)

At the airport, wherever you have arrived, ride in the permitted
direction (counterclockwise around the parking lots). After the
building in blue glass, turn right to Lent"aj"antie, then left to
Ilmailutie and again left to Tietotie. The bike path starts somewhere
there, but the traffic isn't considerable, so whether you use it or
not is up to you. Ride past the Aviation Museum (drop by if you want
to ;), turn left at the end to Tikkurilantie and then immediately
right to Lentoasemantie. Ride over the motorway Keh"a III until the
T-intersection at the end. Turn right to Yl"ast"ontie and then again
left 100 m after the previous intersection. The sign says "Backastilan
puutarha" or somesuch. At the end of the straight part, turn left and
off the pavement. You'll now encounter the worst road surface of this
trip. After the pavement has started again, there is a T-intersection.
Turn right, towards the bridge. Cross the bridge and the river Vantaa,
and you have entered Helsinki proper. After the bridge, take the path
that makes a sharp turn to the left. You will now follow the river
basically until its end.  Go under the motorway, and then there is the
only stop sign you will see on this route. For the curiosity, stop :)
Cross the road and follow the path along the river. Then go under a
bike/ped bridge and yet another motorway. Then the pavement starts
again and the path makes a right turn, after which you turn left into
the tunnel. And the pavement ends again. Go under a four-track railway
bridge and past a bike/ped bridge. Then there is another railway
bridge, below which there is a bike/ped bridge. Cross the river on
this bridge. Turn right and follow the river again. You'll go through
a tunnel under a motorway, past some houses, and then will arrive at a
"real" road. Now you are in Helsinki, as of anno 1550. Unfortunately
for us, the city then moved a bit further south :) Turn right, cross
the river (the Museum of Technology on the left) and cross the river
again. If you prefer a street, turn left right after the bridge,
follow the street until its end and then turn left. Otherwise, go
straight on, over the motorway and then take the path to the left.
Follow the street the path is supposed to follow (Kustaa Vaasan
tie/H"ameentie). The path then ends. If you prefer streets, just go
straight on and follow the signs to "Keskusta" and that's it, as you
see the railway station. If you prefer paths, turn left and cross
H"ameentie, take the path along P"a"askyl"ankatu, and turn right at
the end. Follow S"orn"aisten rantatie and cross it on the first
pike/ped bridge. Follow the coastline, then take the ramp onto the
bridge, and take the path.  The path then crosses a street, turn right
after it onto the path.  Then you'll just have to basically go
"straight" along the path, and you are at the market place, the
Presidential Palace on the right.

Phew, that was a long story for a ride of less than 20 km, which shows
that orienteering on our bikepaths isn't easy. I'd be glad to answer
any remaining questions at ovr@snakemail.hut.fi

I took my bike with me to Europe 10 years ago. Flew out of Dulles and
into and out of Heathrow. Also went by boat-train to Cherbourg and
from Paris to London. Doubt my info is current, but will be glad to
respond to any questions.  I rode out, but I'd have to go back to my
maps for the directions.  I remember it was an hellacious 10 miles or
so getting out of the heavily built up area and all the traffic. Of
course, doing it on top of jet lag didn't make it any easier. I
didn't ride back in. Got a friendly bus driver to put it on his bus
for the ride from Victoria (?) station even though it was against
regulations.  The British Airways folks were great in handling the
thing. Didn't require a box, just asked me to reverse the pedals. And
I was even flying stand-by.  Michael McCoy

The latest news is that you can now ride INTO the Central Area of the
airport (for Terminals 1/2/3) using the small traffic tunnel to the
east of the main bore off the A4. Along this cyclists have priority
and there are speed traps for the ubiquitous speeding taxis. Terminal
4 is on the south side of Heathrow and is accessible to cyclists.
Throughout the area beware of speeding airport traffic, the standard
of driving is appalling and totally inconsiderate. Time is money.

Getting OUT of Heathrow is another matter. Welcome to the UK folks
from overseas!! Here cyclists are tolerated but rarely catered for.

Actually the situation is not so bad. Some intercity coach companies
will take bikes. And even some of the black cabs will takes bikes, at
a price.  Of course, you cannot take the underground (metro or subway)
from Heathrow since the trains are too small and they run in tunnels.
Note that you can take bikes onto the underground in Central London
since the trains are bigger!!

To get out of Heathrow wait for a shuttle coach. This will dump you on
the north side of the airport beside the A4. Then you will have to
cycle east along the A4 towards London.

If you get to Hounslow Central underground station you can then catch
the Picadilly line train into central London, which by this time is
running above ground and is then deemed to be safer!! You will need to
change to a Circle or District line train at Acton or Hammersmith
because the Picadilly line then goes back underground as it gets into
London.

If you want to catch a BR train into Paddington, cycle along the A4
until you get to Harlington Corner. There is a big circular hotel -
the Post House, ex-Ariel - on the corner. Turn north and continue up
Harlington High Street, over the M4 motorway, and for about another
mile to reach Hayes and Harlington Station. The new NSE trains do not
have anywhere to put bikes but just pile in and try not to get the
seats dirty with oil.  Bikes on all Network SE trains are free so long
as they are labelled with your name and address.

>From Hayes & Harlington (or Paddington) you can get trains for the
West and North West. But these are run by Great Western InterCity and
there are problems in getting bikes onto those trains. For example
there is usually a limit of only two bikes per train!!  However from
Paddington you can get a Network SE train to Stratford on Avon. This
is a new route.

If you want to get to the South East, South, or South West, cycle to
Harlington Corner, and then turn south. Ask the way to Feltham
Station.  It is about two miles away. From there you can get a train
to Windsor, Richmond, Clapham Junction, Waterloo, etc. From Waterloo
you can catch a train to Europe, or the South West. From Clapham you
can catch a train to Victoria in London, Dover, Brighton, or the South
West.

Good luck.

I try and avoid Heathrow, because it's so bicycle unfriendly compared
with Gatwick or Stansted.  However, I have taken my bike through
Heathrow more than once.  The tunnel is better than you might imagine,
because you do not have to cycle with the motor vehicles.  Instead, on
the northern side you have the 'luxury' of a dirty, dark walkway which
you are allowed to cycle along.  This walkway is on the left hand side
as you leave the airport, so there's no need to cross the very busy
lanes of traffic.  Far less pleasant is the fact that you then need to
cycle along the A4, a 3 lane dual carriageway.

If you can square it with your conscience, then there's no need to
cycle _in_ through the tunnel.  Cycle to an overground section of the
London Underground.  If you're going through town, it needs to be one of
the lines that doesn't run in a 'tube', e.g. the District line is
fine.  You can take a bike on the district line from any station east
of Aldgate East (i.e. from Whitechapel outwards), or presumably
starting from Earls Court in a westerly direction.  Buy a ticket to
Hounslow West (the official stop) for cyclists.  Transfer to the
Piccadilly line at one of the stations west of earls Court that shares
the platform with the District line.  (All perfectly above board so
far.)  Forget to get off at Hounslow West, instead get off the train at
Heathrow.  The station staff will allow you to get off here as
otherwise they would be forcing you to break the regulations that
forbid you to take your bike in the 'tube' that you have just travelled
in.  However, returning from Heathrow, no matter how convincing your
tan and foreign accent is, you will not be able to enter the station at
Heathrow and will be pointed at the delights of the tunnel and A4,
along which you will find Hounslow West tube station.

OBfantasy: If only train and coach operators were as cycle friendly
as international airlines.

Contact: Michele Faison 
Date   : Tue, 12 Apr 94 11:23:12 EDT

Judging by the superhighways and traffic leading to these airports, I
doubt there are alternate routes where bicycles would be allowed.
However, I remember reading something in a tour book about travelling
from Fontainebleu to Orly by bike...Will check that out this evening.
Don't know if public transport was involved.

It is very easy to get into Paris from either airport by Air France
bus ($6 or $7 from Orly) which stops at a couple of train stations and
other central locations, a city bus from Orly, commuter train/subway
($8 or so) and bus/commuter train ($6 or $7).  The latter serves both
airports.  I have detailed info at home which I can have handy at work
if someone wants to contact me about it.  The bus is much easier with
a bike. (The train stations have stairs and escalators...few have
elevators)

Flying in/out of Orly with the bike has proven much easier than CdG,
and Orly is much closer to the city, particularly the Left Bank and
the Montparnasse train station.

Arriving at CdG (on United), I had to wait an HOUR for my bike, and
the plane was already 2 hours late--people on a tight touring schedule
were waiting for me.  When the time came to return home, airport
security had me completely unpack the bike (I had it disassembled in a
Performance hard case) and pass individual sections through the xray
machine.  I nearly missed my flight, trying to get everything back
together again (they waited until the very last minute, when the
flight was almost ready to board, to ask me to do this...I had packed
all my cycling gear and all the books I had bought in the case with
the bike...what a nightmare).  Admittedly, I had none of these
problems when I flew Air France, but Orly is just more convenient.

Flying in and out of Orly has never been such a problem, although it
could be airline-related (TAP and Delta).  I flew with a French group
on TAP, and the airline/airport personnel were very helpful with the
bikes, and we got them before even getting our luggage off the
carousel.

The Performance case is large and awkward, but it sure protects the
bike and gives room for packing other stuff.  A buckle broke and an
inner strap pulled off in use, and Performance replaced the entire
case for me (I'd had it 18 months) although it was quite usable as it
was.  The French used bicycle boxes and soft cases.  Didn't see any
damage from the soft bags, but the boxes got pretty mangled just going
from Paris to Porto, and again from Lisbon to Paris.  I don't think
any real damage was done to the bikes, though.

Underneath the Airport there is a special path for bicycles parallel
to the autoroute.  There is a fence that protects you.  It is very
easy to get out even if it is noisy.  The first time I went there, I
did not know about this exit under the airport (and had trouble to get
out).  Ask people for the *Piste cyclable*.

Both train and bicycling is easy from the airport.  I take my bike in
its semi-broken down form on the train.  The local trains have space
for baby carriages and other bulky items at the end of each car.

I don't know how you are equipped and what your bicycling appetite is
but there are endless opportunities if you 'head for the hills' and
out of town.  After cruising ZH, I would head for Luzern and into the
mountains.
