Ramsgate to Oostende - London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

Anyone ever taken a bike on the ferry via this route? Cycling to Brussels at the end of the month, and can't seem to find a company who take anything but cars!

Have you only looked on their website or have you phoned them up and asked. Websites are quite often missing information.

yeah called them up and it seems unbelievable that there are no ferries which take foot passengers, with or without bikes to either zeebrugge or ostende at all!
The guy on the phone told me to go to France and cycle from there! I could go to Hull and get the ferry with my bike to oostende, I am in a mild state of shock, what should be one of the most bike friendly routes to the continent is not, at all.

Strange! I though all ferries took foot passengers. Learn something new everyday.

Well Oostende to Brussels is 115 km acording to goodle maps and Dunkirk to Brussels 159 km, so 44 km or 27 miles difference so I guess it depends on your time constraints. good luck sound like a nice ride.
