The same approach could of course be used for other station/destination combinations.Īs well as being an effective way to get away from Madrid, the train journey to Avila is a delight.
Either way avoids the need to cycle through busy streets in hot weather.Īfter our first experience of how easily bikes could be transported on some of the trains, we started two tours by getting a Regionale train to Avila from Chamartin. Had we arrived on a weekend, we could have used the metro to get ourselves and our bikes to Chamartin station. We always flew into Madrid airport midweek. Just ‘phone them to confirm the pick up and a vehicle is dispatched. Each journey was around 20 euros for two people and bikes which seemed like good value and far preferable to the alternatives. Their standard service was booked direct on their web site and was used at both ends of our trip much simplifying travel arrangements. In summary, that was to get from the airport to Chamartin station using the Aerocity shuttle service. This will be published at as soon as it is available. In preparation by Pedalibre is a report on cycle access to Madrid airport. The site is in Spanish so this may mean using one of the automated translation services via Google or Alta Vista. The web site provides much useful information. Among their achievements as representatives of cyclists’ interests, Pedalibre have succeeded (after three years of lobbying), in getting some access for cycles on the Madrid Metro. For much of the information that follows, I’m most grateful to Juan Merallo of Pedalibre. Over the course of our visits to Madrid, we refined our preferred method of getting out of the city. Getting away from Madrid - our preferred method.
