Plans

S-Bahn to Gramatneusiedl, then bike. (There is bus service to Reisenberg, but not on Sundays.) Time flexible.

Expedition

In the morning I loaded some BBBikes maps onto my Garmin bike computer and mounted it on my new Brompton. At Wien Hbf I bought a mobile ticket to supplement my local pass and boarded an S60 train once it arrived - start of the line, so it didn't get moving for quite a few more minutes.

Boarded an S60 with a bike and a ticket for the section past the Vienna core zone. -- Coyotebush (talk) @48.1845,16.3767 10:15, 7 July 2024 (GMT+02:00)

I let Garmin navigate the way from Gramatneuseidl. Very intermittent bike paths in the towns. On the road between, a car driver slowed while passing me to (I think) point out the nice adjacent bike path; I saw a sign about the bike path project so it's likely new.

The market, path beside, and rubble behind were as expected. Took photos and retraced the route, except using the full length of the bike path. Then I found that the elevator to the northbound train platform was out of service (had seen a notice to this effect when buying the ticket), so got to practice carrying the Brompton down stairs.
