They secured the bikes \russian style\ on the train before departure from Moscow to Irkutsk and they took them off the train russian style too. No ramps or silly stuff like that. Just grab the bike and carry it off. These things weigh well over 250 kilos stripped so they are not among the smallest bikes on the market. But they did a FINE job at the russian rail road! From now we´ll be back on the bikes again through Mongolia and back home through Russia.
