In Belgium and in the Netherlands you can take your bicycle on the train. Some restrictions may apply.
In Belgium, the conductor will show you the place where you can store the bicycle. It costs 5 EUR per journey, or 8 EUR per day. Folding bicycles are carried for free. You are advised to avoid trains during the peak hours, although it is not strictly forbidden.
In the Netherlands you can take your bicycle with you on the train during off-peak hours. Peak hours are weekdays from 06:30 to 09:00 and from 16:30 to 18:00. This restriction does not apply at weekends, on public holidays or in July and August. Bicycles must be placed in the special bicycle area on the train. You will recognise this area by the sticker on the outside of the train. As in Belgium, you need to pay a supplement and folding bicycles are carried for free. The price for the supplement is 6 EUR per day, irrespective of the journey.
