Anyone getting Portsmouth >Cherbourg ferry on Friday 1st July for T de F start?
Please help. I can buy a ticket for the ferry as a foot passenger, but there is no more space for bikes.
In an ideal world, I would rock up to Portsmouth. Meet one of you good samaratens. Put my bike in the back of your vehicle, and climb aboard as a foot passanger.
The return journey is no problem; there is room for bikes.
Please spread the word if you cant help.
Keep'em rolling, SA

No it can't. With lower gears to achieve the same speed you should change more gears and make more pedal strokes. It's just not comfortable. On...

I agree with riotgibbon most ferries do not have specific spaces for bikes anyway you just tie up to railings in the hold. Alternatively, do you know anybody you could borrow a folding bike from and carry it onboard or google bike hire in Cherbourg.
sorry, not going, but what I always try in these situations is ringing up the company and sobbing pathetically. Those ferries are huge, there must be room somewhere - definitely worth abandoning your dignity for a sob down the phone
any help?
