Questions about your bike reservation?
Why is it necessary to make a reservation and pay a fee?
The attractiveness of cycling in the region has resulted in record numbers of cyclists on Remi trains in 2022. However, in several situations, the promise of free bicycle access could not be kept. Customers had to transfer to another train or abandon their journey. The introduction of a compulsory paid reservation will guarantee a place for a bicycle and give customers, whether or not they are travelling with a bicycle, greater peace of mind.
How far in advance should I book my bike reservation ?
As the number of bicycle places is limited, I make my reservation as soon as possible and preferably 48 hours before my travel date
I want to travel first class. Can I reserve a space for my bicycle near my seat?
No, there are no bicycle spaces in first class.
We advise you to travel in second class and reserve a place for your bicycle. We remind you that your bicycle remains your responsibility throughout your journey.
What should I do if the bicycle reservation platform does not work ?
We invite you to renew your request.
If this does not work, please fill in an online complaint form.
On my journey, I have a connection between 2 trains subject to bicycle reservation: do I have to take 2 bicycle reservations ?
Yes, if there is a connection between 2 Remi trains subject to reservation, one reservation per bike and per train is required.
I am travelling with a bike and a trailer, do I need to book 2 tickets?
Due to their size, trailers, tricycles, three-wheelers, carts, tandems, recumbents, cargo bikes and other large equipment are not accepted on board.
I have a reservation for a bike, but during my trip, all the spaces are taken. What can I do?
Bicycles with reservations have priority and must not interfere with train movements. We invite you to contact the train staff.
What if I don't have a printer to print my bike coupon ?
You must present yourself at the station or to the ticket inspector and show your confirmation email on the day of your journey.
I have forgotten my bicycle reservation coupon, what should I do?

You must go to the station or to the ticket inspector and show your confirmation email on the day of your journey.
I have a Flash/Flash Plus or other non-refundable Rémi ticket, but the train is full when I book my bike. What can I do ?
You must have a valid bicycle reservation for the train you are travelling on.
Please note that if you are travelling with a folded bicycle or if your bicycle is dismantled and stored in a baggage compartment, you do not need a bicycle reservation.We advise you to buy your bike reservation before buying your train ticket.
The bike reservation is exchangeable and refundable before the train departure time.
I have a ticket for a train on one of the lines concerned and at the last minute I want to get on this train with my bike but there are no more bike places on the booking site.
All tickets are valid for 1 day for the date indicated on the ticket for all Rémi or Rémi Express trains (except Flash and Flash+ fares), we invite you to transfer to another train and make a bike reservation on this one.
In the event of overcrowding, and in the absence of a valid bike reservation, SNCF reserves the right to refuse access to bikes on board.
I am giving up my trip or no longer wish to travel with my bike, what should I do ?
Your trip consists of 2 tickets (bike reservation + passenger ticket).
Two actions are necessary for the refund:
For the traveller: cancel your ticket on the purchase channel according to the fare conditions.
For the bicycle: cancel your reservation via the reservation platform.
I had a problem with my bike (scratches, theft, etc.) at the station or on the train.
We remind you that your bicycle remains your responsibility throughout your journey, as well as during loading and unloading. SNCF cannot be held responsible for any damage to your bicycle.
