Future question for bike + train + bike + train + bike with Motis

Can Motis compute trips with the following form : bike + train + bike + train + bike ? In France, the regional train network allows train on board for free or 1 € in the summer. It's quite widespread, but not enough to enable replacing all TGV (= high speed) route recommandations. Here's a precise and telling example.

Going from Bretagne to Normandie, the easy recommandation would be to go east to Paris at 320 km/h and for 70 € one-way, then going back west with a regional train.

I know that the bike+train option is possible, but without a direct possibility because you'd need a change of station in the middle that would be easier by bike than with a not frequent enough or inexistent train connection.

I believe Motis cannot do that at the moment. Is there a set of recommandations somewhere helping to build an algorithm for this ?

    Not asking this question yet, it's further on the todo list.

    I feel that another related problem with motis/sncf data is that

    1. it's not easy to filter out TGV from the search (I've seen that you're using stopIds to detect TGV a posteriori
    2. bike options are not advertised in the feed (e.g. forbidden / folded / unfolded / paid)
