Hi there.. I've been cycling on & off for quite a number of years. Had a bad ankle break, so got a Specialized Creo lightweight e bike, which I'm using mainly now, just starting to biuld up my fitness again after an ankle replacenment a few months ago. I did LEJOG with an organised group last year (ebike) and am hoping to join them next year to do St Malo to Nice. The company do hire out heavy e bikes, but I think I'd struggle, as I'm quite small and really dont want to fall, so would prefer to use my own. There's the problem: I don't really know how I'm going to transport my lightweight e bike, which has an integrated battery, there & back (Brittany ferries won't allow e bikes with non removable batteries). The idea of travelling on the French trains is very offputting too, as I think I'll struggle, especially changing at Gare de Nord as I'll be almost 75 by then. SNCF offer a luggage tranfer system, but don't take e bikes.

I think there are various carriers, but I've no idea which ones to try. I also heard that there is some sort of minibus transfer company. Any ideas/ advice? Thanks
