Ride the rails, roll the wheels 

Founded in 2022, TågcykelTouring is a Swedish non-profit that promotes inspiring, climate-friendly travel by combining trains and bicycles. It gathers essential travel info and connects like-minded individuals via social media to share tips, bikes, and even overnight stays. The aim is to make sustainable mobility not only practical, but exciting and accessible. 

Bikes, trains and tips galore 
The heart of the initiative lies in its resourceful website and active Facebook group. These platforms provide detailed guidance on train routes that accept bikes, folding bike options, affordable accommodation, and practical travel tips. Users also exchange real-life experiences, questions, and local know-how for both leisure and daily commuting. 

A travel community on a mission 
TågcykelTouring reaches out to people looking for cheaper, greener ways to travel—especially those in financially vulnerable situations. It makes long-distance, sustainable travel feasible for families, pensioners, and rural dwellers while building a supportive transnational community where no one has to travel alone. 

Changing habits, one ride at a time 
By encouraging low-carbon travel and removing practical barriers, this initiative empowers individuals to choose bikes and trains over cars and planes. Its accessible format fills a real gap for people seeking affordable, easy alternatives, and its ripple effect could even inspire more climate-friendly commuting habits.
