Can I bring my bike on a Renfe train?

LONG DISTANCE
Renfe baggage allowance policy states that on board AVE, Long Distance, Avant and Trenhotel trains folded or disassembled bikes are allowed, as long as they are stored inside a bag, and they are up to 180 cm. In this case, the bikes will be considered to be part of your baggage, and you will only be able to bring two more pieces of luggage. For certain trains, you may need to purchase a free bicycle ticket.
SHORT DISTANCE
For Mid-distance, Short-distance and Feve trains, the Renfe baggage allowance policy allows bringing fully assembled bicycles (one per person). On Mid-distance trains, you will need to pay an additional fee for trips of over 100 km. Unfolded bikes usually travel in a specific area, and thus the number of bicycles to be taken on each train is limited.
