Bike as luggage on Trans Siberian Railway
I've heard from a few sources that it's possible to take my bike on the Trans-Siberian railway with me by checking it into the luggage car. (If anyone believes differently please let me know before I ride to Moscow!)
The thing is I really need to have a rough idea about how much it would cost to take my bike on the train from Moscow to Beijing. Does anybody have any idea?
Also, I'm wanting to stop off at Irkutsk and have a ride down by Lake Baikal to Olkhon Island. Does anyone know if it's possible for me to get the bike off the train at Irkutsk and then put it back on a train to Beijing a few days later?
Any information or sources would help! (I can't understand Russian....yet...)
