Transportation of bicycles
Basic information
Within the framework of the IDS JMK, you can travel with a bicycle all year round on integrated trains and in Brno (zones 100 + 101) on Brno public transport lines marked 1 to 99. In addition, during the tourist season from April to October, cycle buses are introduced - buses on regular lines are supplemented with trailers or bicycle racks.
In the vehicles operated by Dopravní podnik města Brna in zones 100 + 101 e-bikes and e-scooters are not allowed.
On the train
It is possible to transport bicycles, e-bikes and large scooters all year round, only on those that are included in the JMK IDS (passenger trains, express trains and fast trains), but only as oversized luggage.
If you are transporting an e-bike, we recommend travelling with at least two people to fit the e-bike comfortably on the train. Remember that an e-bike weighs over 20 kg. Trains marked with the bicycle symbol 🚲️ in the timetables offer extended seating capacity for bicycles. These are the majority of IDS JMK trains, especially on the lines | S | from/to Brno and on lines | R |.

WARNING! - Transport of bicycles with IDS JMK tickets is not possible on RegioJet's R50 line trains between Brno and Breclav. During closures and traffic restrictions, the transport of bicycles and e-bikes is limited or completely excluded. Information is given for each closure on the website www.idsjmk.cz.
Bicycle spaces are marked with a bicycle symbol 🚲️ on the cabinet of the car. Bicycles are transported until the capacity of available seats is exhausted. If the train is equipped with a space for hanging or placing bicycles, the passenger is obliged to place the bicycle in this space in priority. On trains without a bicycle symbol in the timetable, capacity is limited. The carriage of bicycles may also be restricted or excluded during closures. Remember that IDS JMK tickets for you and your bicycle must be purchased at the ČD ticket office and then marked on the platform before boarding the train. You can also buy tickets in the mobile app IDS JMK POSEIDON. Passengers with a bicycle can also board outside the green lanes.
