Caution: this information is 5 years old.
When I visited Normandy in 1990 we drove over this bridge
and it seemed to have specific accommodations for
bicyclists -- IIRC, a bike lane. I remember thinking how
cool it would be to ride over this bridge. (One of my
favorite cycling memories is riding with 3 other friends
over the Ambassador Bridge Detroit, MI - Windsor, ON, back
when this was permitted.)

Great sites for planning our trip. Thanks for the helpful links. I had
located Cheryls website but couldn't find the information which you so
graciously posted.

Thank-you,

Hi.

My wife and I rode over the Pont De Normandie bridge from Honfleur during
our trip in 2003. There is a bike/pedestrian lane which is separated from
the road by a barrier. Hope for a day that is not too windy and enjoy the
ride, it is a blast.

Thank you for the reply! At least there is a chance that we may cross
the bridge on the tandem. We're keeping our fingers crossed for a bike
lane. The Ambassador Bridge sounds like it was fun. My only other
major bridge crossing was the Firth of Forth Bridge many years ago.

Thanks again,

I was a little concerned about the wind. Is there a toll to cross?
