Important considerations when bringing your bicycle on the train

Traveling with a bicycle can be both enjoyable and practical, but to ensure everything goes smoothly, there are a few important rules and guidelines to follow:

Permitted routes for bicycles at stations

Bicycles are not allowed to pass through station buildings. You must lead your bike around the station buildings or follow the designated routes. Here you can find directions for cycling at Stockholm C and Västerås C.

Platform rules

On platforms, you must walk your bike, as cycling is not permitted. If you need to park your bike at the train station, use the designated bicycle parking areas, as parking on the platform is not allowed. Here you can see which stations have bike garages and bike boxes where Mälartåg operates.

Safety and consideration

When traveling with a bicycle, it is important to be considerate of other passengers and to be cautious. This is especially important when boarding and alighting, as it can be crowded, to avoid your bike causing damage or dirt. Keep an eye on your bike throughout the journey, and remember that you are responsible for getting it on and off the train. As a customer, you are liable for any dirt or damage your bike may cause.

Restrictions for certain types of bicycles

If you are traveling with an electric scooter or a smaller folding bike, it must be folded and stored either in the luggage rack or on the floor by your seat. It cannot be placed on the overhead shelf above your seat.

Special rules for tricycles

A tricycle used as an aid may be brought on board if space allows and at no extra cost. If the tricycle exceeds the specified dimensions, boarding may be denied for safety reasons.
