Summer holidays are for cycling

During the Hamburg summer holidays (24 July to 3 September 2025), the usual restrictions on taking bicycles on trains, buses and ferries will not apply, and bicycles may be taken at any time.

When and where can bicycles be taken?

Bicycles can be taken free of charge on underground trains, S-Bahn trains, AKN trains, buses and ferries. Except during the summer holidays, bicycles are not permitted during peak hours: Mon-Fri, 6am-9am and 4pm-6pm. There are no restrictions at weekends.

Bicycle transport on regional trains

To transport a bicycle on the hvv's regional trains (R-Bahnen), you must purchase a bicycle day ticket RB/RE for €3.50. This allows you to take your bicycle with you as often as you like on all regional express or regional trains within rings A - F of the hvv on the day of validity.

Tip: If you are travelling beyond the hvv network or from outside the hvv network, the bicycle tickets listed below are also valid for the route specified on the bicycle ticket within the hvv network:

  • Schleswig-Holstein tariff
  • Lower Saxony tariff
  • DB tariff

You can find more information about taking your bicycle on the hvv here.
