yeah, tried to go grenoble - lyon and on to the south of france by train the grenoble lyon bit was a bus transfer and they wouldn't let us bring the bikes, a 16hour night train journey was our only other option and when it came to the last bit of our journey on a small commuter train they replaced it with a bus transfer and we just put our bikes in the hold........ if you train from lyon to grenoble, its only a 60Km cycle to bourg. mainly up hill but very nice.
