Just for info for anyone that might be interested.

If you don't feel like slogging along the German autobahn when travelling to central Europe, I just booked the bike and an overnight sleeper couchette for EUR 88.0 Dusseldorf to Vienna - that's cheaper than the cost of the petrol!!!

Check out A guide to Motorail trains in Europe: Taking your car by train or ÖBB-Personenverkehr AG: Deutschland.

You do need to be able to speak a bit of German mind!

Cheers

... and if you don't understand any German you can get it from the horse's mouth, in English and book online: DB Autozug - Homepage
