Is it acceptable to use en for moto also ?
... Nous allons au travail en moto ?
This question relates to:French lesson "À/en + [means of transportation] (French Prepositions)"
Asked 7 years ago

Bonjour Terry,
I learned the use of «en» with modes of transportation was generally associated with things one rode inside of, i.e. plane, train, bus, automobile, bateaux, etc.; however, I noticed this phrase in the examples: Je vais à l'école à vélo. Je vais à l'école en vélo. ---> I'm going to school by bike.
Given that the use of en in the example phrase, it appears to be an acceptable use with moto.
Bonne chance

Wait, I didn't see an example in the lesson using "en moto". Is that correct?

Edit: I've seen the question being asked already and I'm posting this question in the wrong section. I can't delete this. Sorry

Hi, I'm wondering why "par" is accompanied with "le" when used with "train" but is not with "l'" when used with "avion"?
Nous venons en train.Nous venons par le train.We're coming by train. Tu voyages en avion.
Tu voyages par avion.You travel by plane.
Is there a rule I haven't known about? Thank you!
