When I wrote "à vélo" I received a correction that I should have written "en vélo." However, I was under the impression that both "en vélo" or "à vélo" are acceptable (see: https://french.kwiziq.com/my-languages/french/view/204). Was this an error or is there a reason that "à vélo" is not acceptable here?

À vélo vs en vélo

When I wrote "à vélo" I received a correction that I should have written "en vélo." However, I was under the impression that both "en vélo" or "à vélo" are acceptable (see: À/en + [means of transportation] (French Prepositions)). Was this an error or is there a reason that "à vélo" is not acceptable here?

Hi Bert,

Thank you for pointing this out, they both mean the same and we have now added it to the possibilities.
