bike on train between Moscou and Irkutsk possible?
On a previous thread of 2011 I read that it's not that expensive to transport a bike on the train between Irkutsk and Moscou. On other threads I read that it's not very straightforward (without more detail).
So I would like to get some up-to-date info on the possibilities of "shipping" a bike between Irkutsk and Moscou.
Are there regular cargo trains between the 2 cities? If yes, is it possible to get a bike on it without to much hassle and advanced bookings?
What would be the cost of it? (I read 160 RUB/10k before?)
Are there good alternatives, besides riding the distance myself? Is a cargo-flight a better option?
By doing that I could reverse my trip and possibly shorten it a bit. (work obligations :-( )
Thanks for the info!
