From the UK - what are the best options and how secure are the bikes in transit? I know some people live on the isle and presumeably get off it by bike - I have never used a ferry by bike before so no idea what to expect? I have used the condor as a foot passenger and it was good enough Any advice is most welcome
I'll ask my mate who lives over there. He usually uses a van I think, but will have some insights I'm sure. Get out on the roads early in the morning and look out for him on a D16RR or Superleggera ;-)
Best option is Weymouth. Quickest crossing. I've only gone by car before but I go over every ten weeks for work. I'm going next week actually. Taking a van you will get charged commercial rate. Much much more than say a private car. I'd say it will be fine. Unless height of season the ferry won't be anywhere near full.
Going to see in laws and riding bike through wales - riding on island a bit pointless - have bicycles over there already tbh Is it best to use centrestand or sidestand on a ferry? Also any other tips / stuff to take to secure it?
Wife seems to remember that bikes where placed near a 'wall' with a huge 'pillow' between bike and wall and strapped to the wall. I honestly don't remember but was concentrating on driving.
My kids live over there, but ive always flown. lot of faff on & miles etc just to see them for a weekend.
