Transport your bike from A to B with FlixBus

Craving a bike adventure? We've got you covered! Load up your bike and hit the road with us.

Can you take your bike on every FlixBus?

Most FlixBuses are bike-friendly, with carriers or special covers to keep your bike safe along the trip. Availability varies by route and country, and some countries don't allow bikes on buses. Before adding a bike to your booking, please check the regulations and instructions below.

When booking, add your bike to see available trips with bike carriers or covers. If a trip isn't reservable, the bus can't carry bikes, or the slots are full.

If you have a folding bike, you can bring it on buses not equipped for regular bikes. Add it as ‘special luggage’ in the “extras” section at checkout. If this option isn’t available, the bus can’t carry bikes or the slots are full.
